The Winnipeg Goldeyes have re-signed two-time American Association post-season all-star Dayson Croes.
The native of Noord, Aruba hit a team-leading .342 in 2024, with 22 doubles, five home runs, and 51 runs batted in. He also led the Goldeyes with 128 hits. Defensively, Croes played 41 games at second base and 44 at the hot corner. He committed just six errors in 267 fielding chances.
Prior to joining the Goldeyes, the Croes spent three seasons at Quincy University in Illinois, batting .388 with 20 home runs and 120 RBIs in 119 career games.
“Dayson returning for another season is huge news for our organization,” said Goldeyes manager Logan Watkins. “Ever since he’s been in this league, he’s been one of the best players in it. We’re very fortunate he’s back and determined to win a championship this year. He represents the Goldeyes as well as you possibly can both on and off the field.”
Winnipeg now has 14 players under contract for the 2025 season.
