The Cubs acquired speedster Terrance Gore from the Royals for cash considerations on Wednesday.
The 27-year-old has yet to appear in the Majors this season, but in 49 career games, Gore has swiped 21 bases. Known for his speed, Gore is also seeking his first career big league hit as he's gone 0-for-11.
In 67 games at Triple-A Omaha this season, Gore is hitting .211/.304/.254 with 16 stolen bases.
While the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline rightfully garners the lion's share of attention when it comes to each year's trade season, there have been numerous deals struck during the month of August that have been impactful down the stretch and in subsequent years.
