• Dodgers' Michael Conforto: Signs with Dodgers

  14D ago • By RotoWire

  Conforto signed a one-year, $17 million contract with the Dodgers on Sunday, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports. Conforto will head to Los Angeles after batting .237 with 20 home runs, 66 RBI and 56 runs scored over 130 games with the Giants in 2024. The Dodgers were reportedly looking to secure a left-handed outfielder, and they appear to have found their guy in Conforto. The 31-year-old had some intriguing batting splits in 2024, producing a .284 average with six homers and 20 RBI over 95 at-bats versus lefties, so Conforto may not be limited to a platoon role in 2025.

  09/24/2024 • By RotoWire

  Conforto went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and two total runs scored in Monday's 6-3 win over the Diamondbacks. Conforto has found his power with three homers over his last five games, going 8-for-21 (.381) in that span. The outfielder is seeing steady playing time between designated hitter and left field since the Giants have faced a lot of right-handed pitchers lately, though it was lefty Eduardo Rodriguez on the mound for Arizona on Monday. For the season, Conforto is up to a .234/.306/.447 slash line, 19 homers, 63 RBI, 53 runs scored, 26 doubles and three triples over 126 games, which is his most games played since 2019.
