Baycats Trade Infielder Malik Williams to the Kitchener Panthers

Barrie, ON — The Barrie Baycats have completed a trade with the Kitchener Panthers, sending infielder Malik Williams to Kitchener in exchange for cash considerations and a player to be named later.

Williams joined the Baycats in 2022 and quickly became one of the club’s most productive hitters. Across four seasons in Barrie, he delivered consistent offensive impact, highlighted by his power at the plate. In 2025, he suffered a lower-body injury in mid-June, sidelining him for the remainder of the season.

The transaction provides roster flexibility as the Baycats continue building toward the upcoming campaign. The incoming player to be named later will be finalized at a future date.

The organization thanks Malik for his contributions both on and off the field and wishes him the best with the Panthers.

The Baycats open up their 2026 Canadian Baseball League campaign on May 14th at 7:38 pm at Athletic Kulture Stadium against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Get your tickets here.
