Winnipeg Goldeyes News Release
WINNIPEG - Winnipeg Goldeyes manager Rick Forney announced today that infielder Wilmer Pino has been traded to the Edinburgh Roadrunners of the North American League for a player to be named later.
Pino, 25, played in six games for the Goldeyes for this season. He hit .238 and played all six games at second base.
