According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic: “The Rangers, seeking a corner outfielder, are among the clubs interested in free agent Michael Conforto, who also is on the radar of the Mets, Astros and, according to the New York Post, the Marlins.”
Michael Conforto is clearly in high demand. His agent, Scott Boras, also stated earlier this week that he prefers a short-term contract with an opt-out clause.
Conforto could be an excellent addition to any teams. The Rangers, in particular, have had a fantastic season since signing Jacob deGrom and Andrew Heaney. Signing Conforto would be a fantastic addition.
There’s no doubt that if it hadn’t been for surgery, the former first-round pick could’ve made an impact last season. He’s a solid outfielder with a strong arm and a powerful left-handed bat.
While Conforto only hit.232 with 14 bombs in 2021, the ex-Oregon State star slugged at least 25 bombs from 2017 to 2019 and even hit.322 in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season.
