Michael Conforto has signed a one-year, $17 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, marking a significant move in his career after a challenging season.
DALLAS: So, Michael Conforto just landed a sweet one-year deal worth $17 million with the Dodgers. Can you believe it? This news came from a source who wanted to stay anonymous, but it’s all over the place now.
The deal was first mentioned by MLB.com, but it’s still pending a physical. Conforto, who’s turning 32 soon, had a decent season with the Giants, hitting .237 with 20 home runs and 66 RBIs. Not too shabby, right?
Before this, he played for the Mets from 2015 to 2021 and even made an All-Star appearance in 2017. He turned down a big offer from the Mets last year and ended up sitting out the 2022 season while recovering from shoulder surgery.
In his nine years in the majors, he’s got a .251 batting average, 167 home runs, and 520 RBIs. It’ll be interesting to see how he fits in with the Dodgers!
