The San Francisco Giants agreed to a two-year, $36 million deal with free-agent outfielder Michael Conforto on Friday. The Giants lost out on superstar shortstop Carlos Correa this week when they had some concerns about his physical -- he later signed with the New York Mets. Instead, the Giants sign the last marquee free agent on the open market. Conforto, 29, didn't play at all in 2022 after having right shoulder surgery in April, but he should be fully healthy for spring training and can provide some nice power numbers in the Giants outfield if he's healthy. The landing spot isn't ideal for a left-handed power hitter like Conforto, but he does have a career .824 OPS with 132 long balls and 396 RBI in his seven major-league seasons.

The San Francisco Giants have some interest in free-agent outfielder Michael Conforto, according to sources. The Giants suddenly have a bunch of money to give players after swinging and missing on star shortstop Carlos Correa, who signed with the New York Mets after the Giants had concerns with Correa's physical. Conforto could end up being one of those players if he's healthy as the Giants look to add some offensive pieces to the mix for 2023. Conforto, like Correa, is represented by agent Scott Boras. The 29-year-old Conforto didn't play at all in 2022 while recovering from right shoulder surgery that he had in mid-April. But he resumed hitting and throwing in November and should be ready for the 2023 season, barring any setbacks. He was an All-Star in 2017 and has a .255/.356/.468 slash line with an .824 OPS and 134 homers in seven seasons with the New York Mets, so he could be a relatively cheap power option for San Fran's outfield.

The Texas Rangers are one of several teams showing interest in free-agent outfielder Michael Conforto, per NY Post's Jon Heyman. The 29-year-old did not play in 2022 due to shoulder surgery, but he compiled a .255/.356/.468 slash line in seven seasons with the New York Mets. His 2021 numbers were below those marks with a .232/.344/.384 slash line, 15 home runs and 55 RBI in 479 plate appearances. Conforto has offered considerable power upside throughout most of his career, but it will be difficult to gauge his fantasy value without first knowing where he will be playing and then seeing him play a bit after missing considerable time.

The Houston Astros are interested in free-agent outfielders Michael Conforto and Andrew Benintendi as potential options to play left field, per MLB.com's Brian McTaggart. Both are left-handed hitters and would complement the host of right-handed hitters in the Astros' current lineup. Conforto did not play in 2022 due to shoulder surgery, but he compiled a .255/.356/.468 slash line in seven seasons with the New York Mets. Benintendi had a decent season with the Royals and Yankees, slashing .304/.373/.399 with five home runs, 51 RBI and eight steals. While neither offers a ton of upside from a fantasy perspective, either player's value would certainly be higher if they held an everyday role in the Astros' lineup.

According to a tweet from MLB Network's Jon Morosi on Tuesday, the Seattle Mariners are reportedly "showing interest in" Michael Conforto. Morosi tweeted: "Sources: #Mariners among teams showing interest in free agent OF Michael Conforto, the Redmond (Wash.) High School grade. @MLBNetwork @SeattleSports." The 29-year-old hit .232 with a .344 on-base percentage, 14 home runs, and a stolen base in 479 plate appearances for the New York Mets during the 2021 season.

The Chicago Cubs are among the teams considering free-agent outfielder Michael Conforto. He is seeking a deal for two years with an opt-out clause. The Cubs are also in touch with free-agent catcher Christian Vazquez, among other catchers. Conforto underwent surgery on his shoulder in April, and although there was a chance he could return to play for a contender late in the season, that never panned out. The 29-year-old left-handed slugger is reportedly back to full health heading into next season, so he should receive plenty of interest on the open market. Conforto was an All-Star in 2017 and hit a career-high 33 home runs while driving in 92 in 151 games as recent as 2019.

Agent Scott Boras suggested that free-agent outfielder Michael Conforto is drawing broad interest across the league already this offseason. "It is Christmas for the Confortos," Boras said. Boras is notorious for drumming up interest in his clients in the most grandiose of ways, so we should take this with a grain of salt. Conforto underwent surgery on his right shoulder in mid-April and was hoping to latch on with a team late last season as a designated hitter, but that never happened. The 29-year-old left-handed hitter should be fully healthy for the start of the 2023 season, so he should sign somewhere, but it remains to be seen how effective he'll be. In 125 games for the New York Mets in 2021, Conforto hit .232/.344/.384 with 14 home runs, 55 RBI, 52 runs scored and a stolen base.

The Houston Astros are said to not be involved in talks to sign free-agent outfielder Michael Conforto. Reports surfaced from SI.com on Wednesday night that the Astros had made a multi-year offer to Conforto, but those reports turned out to be false. Conforto didn't end up signing with a team by the deadline on Wednesday that would have allowed him to be eligible to play in the postseason. The 29-year-old had surgery on his right shoulder in April, but he reportedly made enough progress to potentially help a team as a designated hitter down the stretch in September. It remains to be seen if he'll wait to sign with an MLB club until the offseason now. In 125 games for the New York Mets in 2021, he hit .232/.344/.384 with 14 home runs, 55 RBI and 52 runs scored.

The Houston Astros reportedly offered free-agent outfielder Michael Conforto (shoulder) a multi-year contract on Wednesday. According to Pat Ragazzo of SI.com, he was recently offered a two-year, $30 million contract by the Astros. The 29-year-old underwent surgery on his right shoulder in mid-April but could return as a designated hitter for a contending team in September. Conforto has until Aug. 31 to sign with a team or he will not be eligible to play in the postseason. He slashed .232/.344/.384 with 14 home runs, 55 RBI, 52 runs and a stolen base over 479 plate appearances in 125 games for the Mets in 2021. Conforto would provide the Astros with a potent left-handed power bat if both parties can agree on a deal by the deadline.

Former New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto has to sign with a team on Wednesday if he wants to be eligible to play in the postseason. His agent, Scott Boras, has said that Conforto will sign this year. The 29-year-old had surgery on his right shoulder in mid-April, but he should be able to return in September as a potential designated hitter for a contending club. Conforto was an All-Star with the Mets back in 2017, and he hit .232/.344/.384 with 14 home runs, 55 RBI, 52 runs scored and a stolen base in 479 plate appearances over 125 games for the Mets last season. It remains to be seen if he'll actually sign with a team, but if he does, he might be an option for fantasy managers in need of offense in deeper fantasy leagues.

Free-agent outfielder Michael Conforto's (shoulder) agent, Scott Boras, revealed that he received four phone calls on Tuesday morning regarding his client. The Toronto Blue Jays are known to want to add a left-handed bat for the second half of the season, so they could be in the mix. Conforto underwent surgery on his shoulder in April, and he could be back on the field in September. The 29-year-old was an All-Star in 2017 and hit .232 with 14 home runs and 55 RBI in 125 games last year for the New York Mets. Now that Conforto isn't tied to draft-pick compensation with the draft over, he should land with a team to close out the 2022 season. That doesn't mean he'll be of much help to fantasy managers, however.

Free-agent outfielder Michael Conforto (shoulder) has a good chance to sign with a team to be a hitter, perhaps by September. Conforto will be able to sign without the team losing a draft choice when the 2022 MLB draft ends on Tuesday. A lot will depend on how the 29-year-old's rehab from right shoulder surgery in mid-April is going. If he does sign with a team late in the second half, it will only be as a hitter, and fantasy managers can probably ignore him for the stretch run. In 125 games for the New York Mets in 2021, Conforto hit .232/.344/.384 with 14 home runs, 55 RBI, 52 runs scored and one stolen base.

Free-agent outfielder Michael Conforto (shoulder) is open to signing with a team following the conclusion of the 2022 MLB draft in mid-July, according to his agent Scott Boras. Conforto injured his shoulder during the lockout and had surgery later in the spring, putting a serious damper on his free agency activities. The veteran was originally thought to be out for the season but he is now apparently willing to come back as a hitter for a team late in the year. Conforto hit .252 with 14 homers, 52 runs, 55 RBI, and one steal for the New York Mets in 2021.

Free agent outfielder Michael Conforto underwent shoulder surgery last week according to agent Scott Boras, and is expected to miss the entire 2022 season. The 29-year-old injured his shoulder during workouts in January which froze his free-agency market after the lockout, but Boras stated he is "expected to make a full recovery and return to play in spring training 2023." It's a disappointing outcome for Conforto who was already coming off a down season in which he slashed .232/.344/.384 with 14 dingers in 125 games played. He will undoubtedly have suitors interested in his bat next offseason, but he can now be forgotten about by fantasy players in redraft leagues.

Free agent outfielder Michael Conforto (shoulder) is healthy enough to hold workouts after suffering a shoulder injury doing drills in January during the lockout. The injury has put a freeze on his free-agency, but now his market will surely pickup with the Rangers, Jays, Giants, and Rays among the teams that were previously mentioned as suitors for the former All-Star. Conforto is coming off a down year in which he hit .232 with 14 HR and 55 RBI in an injury-shortened season, but he will still carry fantasy value whenever and wherever he decides to sign.

According to a report from Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, free-agent outfielder Michael Conforto (shoulder) suffered an injury to his right shoulder during a workout in January. Rosenthal reports that Conforto wanted to work his way back to 100% prior to resuming negotiations with teams. The 29-year-old has reportedly reached the point where he is back to full arm strength, so talks have resumed. He is one of the top free agents still available on the market, despite the fact that he's coming off a rough year. Last year over 125 games with the New York Mets, he slashed .232/.344/.384 with 14 home runs, 55 RBI and 52 runs.

The San Francisco Giants are active in their search for a left-handed bat, and former New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto is one option the team has discussed at length internally, according to sources. He's coming off a down year but has a career .824 OPS and has hit at least 27 home runs in each season from 2017-19. Conforto also has a career .371 on-base percentage and .502 slugging percentage against right-handed pitching. The 29-year-old's market has been depressed because he has draft-pick compensation tied to him. Conforto's down season in 2021 likely had something to do with a strained hamstring that kept him out for a month. San Fran might not be the best landing spot for him, but with better health, Conforto could bounce back and be a nice fantasy value pick in drafts.

The New York Yankees were among the teams showing interest in free-agent outfielder Michael Conforto before the lockout. With the lockout set to end on Thursday, Conforto could soon find a home, but it remains to be seen if it will be with the Yankees. The 29-year-old struggled to the tune of a .232/.344/.384 slash line with 14 home runs and 55 RBI in 479 plate appearances over 125 games for the New York Mets last year. Conforto, who declined his qualifying offer before the lockout, still has upside in real life in fantasy, though. He has an OPS of .824 in his seven big-league seasons and could be a nice mid-round bargain selection in fantasy, depending on where he winds up on the open market.

Outfielder Michael Conforto has declined the one-year, $18.4 million qualifying offer from the New York Mets on Monday, according to Jeff Passan of ESPN. Instead, the 28-year old will take his chances on the free agent market in hopes of landing a multi-year deal. Conforto had his worst offensive season since 2016, slashing .232/.344/.384 with 14 HRs, 55 RBI, and 52 runs in 125 games. He still has plenty of upside, though, as he's managed to produce a career OPS of .824 across seven seasons. Conforto should be a mid-round pick in many fantasy leagues, capable of supplying power and RBI without hurting the batting average category too much.

The New York Mets extended qualifying offers to both outfielder Michael Conforto and starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard on Saturday for one year and $18.4 million. Syndergaard has missed the majority of the last two seasons after having Tommy John surgery in 2020 and experiencing a setback due to elbow inflammation. But before his injury, he was a Cy Young candidate with some of the hardest and nastiest stuff in the majors. There's a chance that Thor could accept the offer in hopes of rebounding with a healthy season and then capitalizing on the free-agent market next year. Conforto, an All-Star in 2017, hit just .232/.344/.384 with 14 home runs and 55 RBI in 406 at-bats over 125 games for the Mets in 2021.
