AIGLES ACQUIRE ALL-STAR OUTFIELDER DAVID VINSKY

TROIS-RIVIÈRES, QC - With training camp just weeks away, Trois-Rivieres Aigles manager Jonathan Albaladejo struck a major coup by acquiring the talented David Vinsky from the New York Boulders in exchange for two players to be named later.

A 15th-round pick of the St. Louis Cardinals in 2019, the 26-year-old American has played the last three seasons with the Boulders in the Frontier League. In 283 games, he maintained an excellent batting average of .295 on 322 hits, including 63 doubles and 41 home runs. During this period, Vinsky also crossed the plate 203 times and drove in 197 runs.

Vinsky also participated in the Frontier League All-Star Game in 2022 and 2024.

Before starting his career in independent baseball, Vinsky also played 134 games in affiliated baseball with the Cardinals. He notably played 73 games at the Double-A level in 2021.

The acquisition of Vinsky bolsters a 2025 roster that already includes pitchers Nathan Landry, Mike Hansell, Harry Rutkowski, Adam Wibert and Jacob Peaden, outfielders Louis-Philippe Pelletier, Justin Farmer, Juan Carlos Negret and Mathieu Vallée, infielders James Smibert, Luis Curbelo, Edward Sanchez, Omar Meregildo and Brandon Hylton and catcher Chris Burgess.

The Trois-Rivières Eagles will kick off their 12th season —and their 4th in the Frontier League—on May 8th with a visit to the Sussex County Miners. They will then face the Evansville Otters and the Gateway Grizzlies on the road before opening their home game on May 20th at Quillorama Stadium against the Sussex County Miners.
