The Winnipeg Goldeyes have signed right-handed relief pitcher Marcel Renteria for the upcoming season.
Renteria was selected by the New York Mets in the sixth round of the 2017 Major League Baseball June Amateur Draft out of New Mexico State University and played six seasons in their system.
Renteria, 30, last pitched in 2023 with the Class-AA Eastern League’s Binghamton Rumble Ponies, where he posted a 1-1 record with one save and a 3.54 ERA in 19 games.
“Marcel is a big signing for us. He is an experienced arm who climbed up high in affiliated ball,” said Goldeyes field boss Logan Watkins. “Unfortunately for him — but fortunately for us — he is coming back from injury which made it possible for us to sign him. I know he’s excited to prove that he’s healthy and he’s as motivated as ever. He is a guy who can start or relieve and someone we will lean on in 2025.”
Winnipeg now has 22 players under contract for the 2025 season.
