Dodgers Sign Terrance Gore To Minor League Deal

By Steve Adams | February 17, 2020 at 1:00pm CDT

The Dodgers announced Monday that they’ve signed outfielder Terrance Gore to a minor league deal and invited him to Major League camp this spring.

Gore, a client of the L. Warner Companies, seems to land on a postseason contender late every season one way or another. His blistering speed made him an ideal pinch-running specialist under the previous roster expansion rules, which allowed clubs to bring anyone on their 40-man roster to the Majors after Aug. 31. That’ll change in 2020, as September rosters will only grow to 28 players. However, the standard roster size will grow from 25 to 26 as well.

The 28-year-old Gore is out of minor league options, so the Dodgers — who utilize every edge possible in creating roster flexibility — seem unlikely to carry him in the Majors for the bulk of the season. He could be a 27th or 28th man in September, however, and could even be a postseason option if they deem such a move necessary.

Gore split the 2019 season between the Royals and Yankees organizations after Kansas City signed him to a surprising Major League contract last winter. Gore appeared in 37 games with the Royals but only came to the plate on 58 occasions. His lack of at-bats in the Majors is a testament to his typical role as a baserunning specialist; Gore has appeared in 100 regular-season games and another nine postseason contests but only come to the plate a combined 79 times. As a frequent pinch-runner, however, he’s swiped 45 bases (in 54 tries).

While Gore’s speed is tantalizing, his lack of Triple-A production is glaring; in 181 games there, he’s managed only a .213/.307/.261 slash line.

    Hey, a .362 OBP with his speed is basically a 36.2% chance of an extra base hit.

    One of the more productive speedsters in the game, if they let him get playing time. IDK how Billy Hamilton gets talked about more than Gore.

      He won’t get playing time. Sept 1 call up and (possibly) a postseason spot. That’s it.

      Hamilton is an elite defensive center fielder; Gore is not. Also, Gore’s Triple-A numbers (.213/.307/.261) are worse than Hamilton’s big league numbers.

        Ok, I looked at each of their defensive metrics, and I didn’t realize just how bad at fielding Gore was. That puts Hamilton over the top, but I still think that if Gore got a bench spot with the Dodgers, he could be a really nice asset surrounded by all of those all star caliber guys out in L.A.

          Tipper Gore is probably a better hitter. I think this signing, as others have suggested, is strictly for baserunning in September & October

      Maybe, but definitely not in LA. They are too deep. This was a pickup strictly for his wheels come October.

    Does a player signed to a minor league contract need to be optioned to be sent to the minors? I thought options just apply to 40 man roster.

      You are correct about the 40 man. But no is the answer. Minor Leaguers that receive an invite camp are “reassigned” not optioned when they are sent down, and does not count against them.

    The Dodgers haven’t shown interest in stealing bases or 1 trick ponies. I assume this is for AAA depth.

      That’s not entirely true. They haven’t in the last couple years, but they have in the past tried to create one trick ponies that focused solely on baserunning, along with other things, and again there is now an extra spot on the roster which probably leads way to either a PR or PH.
