BIOGRAPHY

Anthony Gose was born August 10, 1990, in Paramount, California. He is a pitcher in the MLB.

The Philadelphia Phillies drafted Gose in the second round, with the 51st overall selection, of the 2008 Major League Baseball Draft. He opted to sign with the Phillies, forgoing his college scholarship for a $772,000 signing bonus. Playing for the Lakewood BlueClaws of the Class A South Atlantic League (SAL) in 2009, he appeared in the SAL All-Star Game. His 76 stolen bases that season led all of minor league baseball.

On July 29, 2010, Gose, along with J. A. Happ and Jonathan Villar, was traded to the Houston Astros in exchange for Roy Oswalt and $12 million. Immediately after, he was traded to the Toronto Blue Jays for first baseman Brett Wallace. On July 17, 2012, Gose was called up to the Blue Jays to replace the injured José Bautista. Gose made his MLB debut that day, against the New York Yankees. Gose collected his first Major League hit on a bunt single in the ninth inning off of Clay Rapada. Gose made his first Major League start on July 18, playing right field and batting leadoff.

Gose signed a minor-league contract with the Cleveland Indians. Gose was invited to Spring Training for 2020. He became a free agent on November 2, 2020. Gose signed a minor league deal with the Indians on November 17, 2020; the deal includes an invitation to the Indians' 2021 major league spring training camp.

The Indians selected Gose's contract on September 20, 2021.

Gose was designated for assignment on November 15, 2022. The Guardians declined to tender Gose a contract for the 2023 season by the non-tender deadline of November 18, 2022; Gose subsequently became a free agent. On December 1, 2022, the Guardians re-signed Gose to a two-year minor league contract while he recovers from Tommy John surgery on his left elbow; the deal includes an invitation to the Guardians' 2023 major league spring training camp.
