WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes acquired outfielder Michael Crouse from the Chicago Dogs in exchange for outfielder Eric Rivera on Saturday.
Crouse hit .294 with seven home runs and 45 RBI in 87 games for the Dogs, and currently ranks second in the American Association with 38 stolen bases. The New Westminster, British Columbia native was selected to the American Association East Division All-Star Team earlier this season, and was voted co-American Association Defensive Player of the Year while playing for the Dogs in 2020.

A right-handed hitter and fielder, Crouse has averaged 99 runs scored, 29 doubles, eight triples, 20 home runs, 84 RBI, 51 stolen bases, and 75 walks per 162 games as a professional.
Crouse is a member of the Canadian National Team, and most recently competed at the 2021 World Baseball Softball Confederation Americas Qualifier for the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics (played in 2021) along with current Goldeyes Travis Seabrooke and Will McAffer. Crouse was previously a member of the Canadian Junior National Team.
Rivera hit .283 with three home runs, 32 RBI, and 23 stolen bases in 79 games for the Goldeyes.
