Giants Land Michael Conforto On Two-Year Deal
2 years agoThe 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.
