Expert Note
View More NotesMacKenzie Gore followed up his 2024 step forward with another strikeout-heavy season in 2025, posting a career-best K-rate (27%+) while maintaining improved walk control compared to his early MLB years. His ERA remained volatile (4.17) despite strong underlying indicators, as a neutral HR rate and elevated BABIP continued to inflate ratios relative to his FIP. The 2026 projections largely stabilize him as a mid-rotation arm, forecasting solid strikeouts with league-average ERA and WHIP over a full workload. At age 27, Gore looks like a fantasy SP3/SP4 whose upside is tied to further command gains, making him an appealing target in formats that reward strikeouts. The move to Texas could boost his win total, but only if the other metrics continue to improve.

Fantasy Impact
Per Passan, it is a 5-for-1 deal, with a handful of prospects heading back to the Nationals. Gore lands a fresh start and should slide right in the middle of the Rangers starting rotation.
