Winnipeg Goldeyes manager Rick Forney announced Tuesday the signing of veteran outfielder Ray Sadler to a contract for the 2014 season.

In 59 games with the Goldeyes last summer, he hit .313 with 11 home runs and 50 RBI. Overall, he batted .276 with 21 home runs and 72 RBI in 100 games between Kansas City and Winnipeg. "I love the way he plays and the way he carries himself as a true pro," Forney said. "Hes been very productive in this league. Last year in the second half of the season he was as good as anyone in the league in terms of driving in some big runs, especially the last four weeks of the season. He was as important to our team as anyone that we had in terms of giving us a chance to compete for a playoff spot. We anticipate him driving in some more big runs for us in 2014." Sadler has played the last four seasons at the independent level. In 382 games, mostly with Kansas City, he has a .298 average with 82 home runs and 318 RBI. Hes reached 20 home runs in three of the four seasons and drove in 100 RBI with the T-Bones in 2011, which was three shy of the American Association record for a single-season. A product of Clifton, Texas, Sadler has played 14 professional seasons. He reached the Major Leagues with the Pirates in 2005 for three games and hit a home run in one of his eight at-bats. Aside from his time in the Pirates organization, Sadler spent time with the Chicago Cubs, Houston Astros and Tampa Bay Rays. He was drafted by the Cubs in the 30th round of the 1999 MLB Amateur Draft. He has parts of eight seasons at Class AA and four seasons at Class AAA on his resume.
