Royals non-tender Terrance Gore - 美國職棒

The Royals have non-tendered outfielder Terrance Gore, according to Rustin
Dodd, making him a free agent. The 26-year old is known for his speed,
spending parts of four seasons with the Royals, but batting just 14 times in
the big leagues. He did steal 21 bases in 25 attempts, plus another four
stolen bases in post-season play.

Gore is considered one of the fastest players in the game, but has never done
much with the bat. He hit .249/.310/.307 in 254 plate appearances between AA
and AAA last season and is a career .244/.338/.277 in seven minor league
seasons.

Gore is out of options for the 2018 season, so he would have to be kept on
the Major League roster, or be exposed to waivers to send him to the minors.
The Royals may have non-tendered him now to keep him from being exposed to
waivers, hoping to sign him to a minor league deal and keep him in the
organization.

The Royals are expected to tender contracts to pitcher Kelvin Herrera, Nate
Karns, and Brandon Maurer by tonight’s 7 p.m. CT deadline for players that
arbitration-eligible. The Royals agreed to terms on a one-year deal with
pitcher Mike Morin, according to Dodd, avoiding arbitration.
