Dodgers To Sign Michael Conforto
The Dodgers have agreed to a deal with outfielder Michael Conforto, per a report from MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand. ESPN’s Alden Gonzalez adds that Conforto’s deal with L.A. is a one-year pact worth $17MM.
Conforto, 32 in March, was selected by the Mets tenth overall in the 2014 draft and emerged as an impact bat for the club early in his career. In his first six seasons as a big leaguer, Conforto slashed an incredible .259/.358/.484 with a wRC+ of 128. Conforto made an All-Star appearance, slugged 118 homers in 632 games, and established himself as one of the best young offensive players in the NL.
