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.

New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto hit a two-run shot against the Atlanta Braves Saturday, part of a 2-for-4 day with two runs scored in a 6-5 loss. If Conforto's days as a Met are indeed coming to a close, he's finishing strong with a .375/.444/.708 slash line in his last seven games. Despite this season's struggles, Conforto has a career OPS of .825 with 132 home runs. He should bounce back in 2022, even as his draft stock would appear to have slipped considerably.

New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto is on the bench for Friday's game against the Atlanta Braves, according to MLB.com. After good production most of his career, he's been merely league-average this season, slashing .228/.342/.376 with 13 HRs, 53 RBI, and 50 runs over 123 games. His only value comes in OBP leagues at this point. Kevin Pillar will start in the outfield and bat seventh in his place. Pillar brings a .229 average and .696 OPS into the game, while adding 15 HRs and four stolen bases in 122 games this season. Most of his success comes against left-handers, as he's slashed .242/.258/.425, so with righty Huascar Ynoa on the mound, he should be ignored on the waiver wire.

New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto may have played his last home game as a Met Thursday, and if that's the case he went out in style, batting 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI, and a run scored from the third spot in the lineup. Conforto's .718 OPS and 13 homers are surely disappointments, but he's finished strong with a .304/.385/.522 slash line in his last seven games and 26 plate appearances. He won't cost much in 2022 fantasy drafts, but his career track record suggests he could return good value.

New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto hit a monster home run in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Miami Marlins, launching a solo shot 469 feet over the left-center field fence. It was his only hit in four at-bats. Conforto now has 13 home runs in what has been a disappointing campaign for the free-agent-to-be. He's improved in the second half of the season, with a .762 OPS as opposed to a .639 number in the first half, but both are well below his career mark of .822. With 49 runs scored and 51 RBI in 394 at-bats, Conforto has underwhelmed at every turn, making him a potential value in 2022 drafts.

New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto isn't in the lineup on Wednesday. The Mets will take on the Boston Red Sox and left-handed starter Chris Sale but will do so with Conforto on the bench. The outfielder is batting .223 with a .339 on-base percentage, 12 home runs, and a stolen base in 445 plate appearances this season. It'll be Kevin Pillar starting in right field and batting eighth on Wednesday against Sale and the Red Sox. Fantasy managers are probably best off looking elsewhere for streaming help. Pillar is hitting .224 with a .271 on-base percentage, 15 home runs, and four stolen bases in 329 plate appearances this season.

New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto went 1-for-3 with a double and RBI in the Mets 4-3 loss to the Phillies on Friday. Conforto is now hitting .321/.394/.357 with four RBI and three runs scored over his last seven games (28 at-bats). While it has been a disappointing season for Conforto overall, given his poor .227 average to go with just 12 homers and 49 RBI, he is showing signs of life at the plate suggesting a bounce-back in 2022. Managers in dynasty formats should continue to remain patient with Conforto and see how he performs at the start of the 2022 campaign to determine whether 2021 was simply a one-off, down season for the 28-year old.
