When it comes to Murphy’s Law, it is not a good thing, as it states: what can go wrong, will.
But for the Winnipeg Goldeyes, Max Murphy has yielded nothing but good results for the Goldeyes. That is why the team has re-signed the 33-year-old outfielder for the 2026 American Association, an MLB partner league, season, his sixth with the organization.
“I’m stating the obvious, but we’re very excited Max is back on board for another season,” Goldeyes skipper Logan Watkins said on Goldeyes.com. “He’s one of the all-time greats of this organization and in the league, and he’s still got a lot of good baseball left in him. He’s also a great leader for this team and someone who really sets the tone in the clubhouse.”
Murphy batted .277 with 15 home runs and 62 runs batted in, leading the club in the latter two offensive categories last year.
Murphy has slugged a career-record 102 longballs for Winnipeg, surpassing Reggie Abercrombie, who went yard 92 times for the Goldeyes. It is all but a given that he will eclipse Winnipeg’s all-time RBI record sometime is 2026, as he is just six shy of Abercrombie’s 393.
It all started out for Murphy in 2014, as the Minnesota Twins selected him in that year’s MLB Draft out of Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois. The Robbinsdale, Minnesota, native has smacked .286 over his professional career, with 174 home runs and 736 RBI in his professional baseball career.
Additionally, he earned two All-Star nods during his stint within the Twins’ system and picked up a Minor League Baseball Gold Glove award in 2017. By 2019, Murphy had advanced as high as Triple-A in the Arizona Diamondbacks organization.
