WINNIPEG, MB - The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced Wednesday the signing of right-handed relief pitcher Willian Suárez.

Suárez, a native of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, last pitched for the Tri-City Dust Devils, the High-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels.

The 26-year-old spent four seasons from 2016 to 2019 in the Dominican Summer League with the DSL Giants, a rookie affiliate of the San Francisco Giants. In 2021, he was signed to the Giants organization and assigned to their Arizona Complex League affiliate. There, Suárez crossed paths and played with Goldeyes 2024 and 2025 catcher, Rob Emery.

After spending one more season with the Giants, he was claimed off waivers by the Angels organization and proceeded to spend two seasons in their system, reaching as high as Double-A in 2023 with the Rocket City Trash Pandas.

In his career, Suárez has compiled a 17-12 record with a 4.93 earned run average in 152 appearances.

"We're really excited to sign Willian to our team," said Goldeyes skipper Logan Watkins. "He's a guy who has some solid affiliated experience, and from looking at video of him throwing recent bullpens, you can tell he has electric stuff. I am hopeful he will be a big contributor to the back of our bullpen."

Winnipeg now has three players under contract for the 2026 season. American Association clubs may carry up to 33 players during spring training, which begins May 3.
