Winnipeg Goldeyes News Release
WINNIPEG - Winnipeg Goldeyes manager Rick Forney announced today that the baseball club has acquired right-handed pitcher Chris Bodishbaugh from the Sioux City Explorers in exchange for a player to be named later and cash considerations.
Bodishbaugh, 27, is currently third in the American Association in saves with 17. He also has a 6-4 record and 4.13 ERA.
