3 years agoThe San Diego Padres added four players to their 40-man roster Friday, most notably starting pitcher MacKenzie Gore. The others selected were pitchers Efrain Contreras and Steven Wilson, and infielder Eguy Rosario. Outfielder Jorge Oña and pitcher Reggie Lawson were outrighted to Triple-A El Paso in a corresponding move. Gore has had a tumultuous time over the past year, as he made only 12 starts for a total of 50 1/3 innings with a 3.93 ERA and 1.47 WHIP in 2021. Still the fourth rated prospect in the team's system, Gore was expected to debut this past season but was not deemed ready to do so. He figures to emerge at the big league level during 2022, and there may be an opportunity for dynasty managers to buy-in on the cheap while his star has slightly fallen.--Doug Goldring - RotoBaller
