If nothing else, the Royals are cornering the market on baseball’s fastest players during this offseason.
On Tuesday, the Royals announced they signed outfielder Terrance Gore to a one-year contract. The move came 125 days after the Royals traded Gore to the Chicago Cubs for cash considerations in August.
Gore, who appeared in 49 games over four seasons with the Royals, stole 21 bases without recording a hit. He was a postseason terror on the base paths in 2014 and 2015. In six postseason series, Gore stole four bases in eight playoff games and scored a pair of runs, including one in the 2014 World Series.
