Adding Terrance Gore could signal the end of Tyler Wade’s Yankees tenure

One of Brian Cashman’s first trades before the deadline wasn’t one that many Yankees fans saw coming. On Wednesday he acquired speedy outfielder Terrance Gore, from the Kansas City Royals in exchange for cash considerations.

Gore, 28, has been in the big leagues since 2014, but has only recorded 68 at-bats. His career slash-line stands at .224/.325/.284. No, those numbers are not impressive, but they don’t necessarily need to be. He’s not here to hit bombs or hit gap-to-gap, he’s here for one thing: to run.

This season, Gore has stolen 13 bags in 37 games, and is 40-for-49 in his career.
