Padres Agree To Terms With MacKenzie Gore

By Jeff Todd | June 23, 2017 at 5:23pm CDT

The Padres are set to announce the signing of third-overall pick MacKenzie Gore tomorrow, per Dennis Lin of the San Diego Union-Tribune (via Twitter). Once the signing is official, Gore will receive a $6.7MM bonus, per MLB.com’s Jim Callis (Twitter link).

That payday lands just over the $6,668,100 slot value that came with the Friars’ top selection. Gore’s signing represents the last unfinished business from the first ten rounds of the draft for San Diego.

In Gore, the Padres landed a much-hyped left-handed prep pitcher. He drew consensus top-five pre-draft billing, with Fangraphs’Eric Longenhagen ranking him highest at third on the board.

    Same bonus as Donavan Tate! I’m excited to see him in action. Wonder if they’ll start him aggressively, maybe even in low-A.

      Thats incredibly optimistic for a guy right out of HS.

      Eric Lauer and Cal Quantril, both spent time in the Arizona (Rookie) League last year. In theory Gore should be more talented than both, but it goes to show you even first round college pitchers oftentimes don’t jump straight to Low A.

      I’d be really surprised if he’s not in the AZL to start. If all goes well maybe they can bump him up to short season A ball for the last month of the year.

      I say mimic exactly what the dodgers did with kershaw, no need to rush and pressure the kid, let him figure it out and dominate when ready!

    I never say stuff like this but what the hell…if Gore stays healthy, he’ll be the best homegrown pitcher the Friars ever had. Better than Peavy….and wayyyyy better than Latos, which might not be saying much, considering.

      Kevin Brown? Not sure if he was homegrown though.

        Brown? He was a one year rental from the marlins 97
        Padres 98
        Doyuers 99

        Plus that monster trade between the padres and Astro in another 95 that brought us caminiti and finely

      Latos was fantastic for the Padres and for the Reds for at least his first 2 years there. If Gore can be as good as Latos or Peavy were for the Padres this will be a win.

        Fantastic overhype much?
        Peavy won Cy Young and couple of WS not comparable.

          From 2010 to 2013 Mat Latos pitched 799 innings of 3.27 ERA ball. That’s really freaking good. If Gore can do that over a 10-year stretch instead of 4 like Latos, then I think most Padres fans would be happy.

          The Padres will probably end up retiring Peavy’s number. Latos? Not likely.

          The fact still remains that Latos was great during his Padres tenure which is why the Reds had to give up three top prospects to acquire him.
          I doubt they retire Peavy’s number but we’ll see. He’s not quite as iconic in SD as Tony, Trevor or Winfield.

          Winfield didn’t play 1/4 of career in San Diego won nothing couldn’t wait to leave and never came back until later after career when nomad had nowhere to go

          They only have 6 numbers retired and one is a guy who never played for the Padres. Peavy is a fringe number retire candidate. Probably more likely than anyone else at this point but still not super likely.

    Yeah, the Padres best homegrown pitchers, at least starters, were Peavy and Randy Jones, I’ll guess that Eric Show and Andy Benes are way up there too.

      Just looked it up: Padres career bWAR pitching leaders:
      Hoffman 25.9
      Peavy 24.7
      Ashby 22.8
      Jones 20.8
      Benes 20.7
      Whitson 16.5
      Show 16.0
      Hamilton 15.8
      Harris 15.7
      Hurst 15.2

      Of those guys the homegrown ones were Peavy, Jones, Benes, Show, Hamilton and Harris.

      Snow? Rip
      Peavy was the best homegrown pitcher
      Jones has bad year with a few good years

        By WAR, the Padres best homegrown pitchers, in order, were Peavy, Jones, Benes, Show, Hamilton and Harris.

        Also on the list, but not developed by SD, are Hoffman, Whitson, Hurst and Ashby.

        That’s just WAR with San Diego. Obviously several of those pitchers went on to have substantial careers elsewhere.
