Long story short, homie racks up mad strikeouts. He had a 3.02 ERA and an insane 138 K's over 19 starts through the All Star Break. In the second half he struggled with some injuries that kind of marred his overall season numbers, but there's a lot here to be excited about. He could be SP2 on a lot of staffs and will likely slot in as SP4 for us.

If healthy, I think he will have a breakout year for us. You point to his great 1st half he had before he struggled after a couple of injuries. But also factor in that he is going from a bottom 3 defense in the league to one of the best. Losing Semien’s and Adolis’s defense will sting a little but it should still be a great defense. He will also go from pitching half his games in a hitter friendly park to a very pitching friendly park in Globe Life.
I think this is a masterful trade. Gore was once the top pitching prospect in baseball and has yet to come close to his ceiling. Globe Life should play to his strengths too. Can’t wait to see him in blue and red!
I’m on board. We need another reliable lefty pitcher to go along with Latz.

Excited for the addition. Just hope the boys can put some balls in play. We’ve seen how far excellent pitching gets us.
