White Sox Express Interest in Free Agent Michael Conforto
The rebuilding club is evaluating a low-cost stopgap with potential rebound value.
Overview
- Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports Chicago has interest in the former All-Star outfielder.
- Conforto struggled in 2025 with the Dodgers, hitting .199/.305/.333 with 12 home runs and missing the postseason roster.
- Right field is unsettled for Chicago as Luis Robert Jr. and Andrew Benintendi occupy the other spots and could be trade candidates.
- A short-term pact is viewed as a buy-low play, supported by indicators such as an 11.5% walk rate and 77th-percentile bat speed last season.
- Internal options Brooks Baldwin, Tristan Peters, Derek Hill and Everson Pereira, along with top prospect Braden Montgomery, are also in the mix.
