Overview
- Michael Conforto, 31, signed a one-year, $17 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, pending a physical.
- Conforto played 130 games for the San Francisco Giants in 2024, hitting .237 with 20 home runs and 66 RBIs.
- The signing comes as the Dodgers remain in talks to retain free-agent outfielder Teoscar Hernández, who played a key role in their 2024 championship run.
- Conforto adds a left-handed bat to the Dodgers' outfield, joining players like Tommy Edman and Andy Pages, while Mookie Betts is expected to focus on the infield next season.
- This move follows Conforto's recovery from a 2022 shoulder surgery and two solid seasons with the Giants, marking his return to form after earlier career highs with the Mets.
