Gore received a World Series ring with the Dodgers in 2020 despite playing just two games with the team, and won two more World Series: one with the Kansas City Royals in 2015 and the other with the Atlanta Braves in 2021.
The speedster didn’t get many at-bats in the MLB, as teams largely followed him as a pinch-running and defensive specialist. He stole 48 bases on 58 attempts in 123 career games in the regular season and postseason.
How long was Terrance Gore with the Dodgers?
The Dodgers signed Gore to a minor league contract ahead of the 2020 season and called him up early in the shortened season. He made two appearances for the big league team without appearing at the plate before the Dodgers designated him for assignment and ultimately sent him back to the Dodgers’ alternate training site after being placed on waivers.
The outfielder did not play in the minors due to the cancellation of the season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Gore did not play in the postseason and opted for free agency after the end of the year.
Who else did Terrance Gore play for?
Gore spent most of his career with the Royals and made his MLB debut for them in 2014. From 2014 to 2018, he played for the Royals on and off, appearing in a whopping 17 games in 2016.
He joined the Chicago Cubs in 2018 but returned to Kansas City for the 2019 season, when he played a career-high 37 games. Gore slashed .275/.362/.353 that season, stole 13 bases and recorded his only MLB RBI.
After spending the next season with the Dodgers, Gore spent all of 2021 in the Braves’ minor league system before making a special appearance in the postseason, playing the final season of his professional career with the New York Mets.
Over his 112-game regular season career, Gore slashed .216/.310/.270 and had 17 more stolen bases than strikeouts. Fans around the league will forever remember Gore as one of the most prominent baserunning specialists in MLB history.
We at Dodgers Nation extend our condolences to Gore’s loved ones.
