Yankees acquire professional pinch-runner Terrance Gore

Well, the Yankees swung a trade on Wednesday, but it wasn’t for a starting pitcher or even a player that will make the 40-man roster — at least not yet, anyway.

Terrance Gore, who has a track record of successful Postseason appearances as a pinch-runner, first with the Royals in 2014 and 2015 — and then the Cubs during last season’s NL Wild Card Game, will report to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Gore, 28, is five-for-six in successful stolen base attempts in nine playoff games and is expected to be a September call-up before potentially becoming an October weapon off the bench for Aaron Boone’s bunch.
