3 Most Likely Michael Conforto Free Agent Destinations

With so many top free agents coming off the board this week, MLB teams are scrambling to fill their holes with the second tier of free agents. That includes former New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto, who is looking to recapture his All-Star form after missing the entire 2022 season with a shoulder injury.

Which teams make the most sense for the 29-year-old masher? Here are Conforto's top 3 potential free agent destinations.

Top Michael Conforto Free Agent Destinations

3. San Francisco Giants

The Giants are still in the market for an outfield power bat after missing out on Aaron Judge, and Conforto would be a solid consolation prize. He's already topped 25 home runs three times in his career despite battling injuries and playing in a more pitching-friendly park, which San Francisco has as well. He's also from the Pacific Northwest originally and could be interested in playing closer to home.

2. New York Yankees

Yes, the Yankees just re-signed Judge, but they still have a hole in their outfield with Andrew Benintendi unsigned. While the team reportedly likes Benintendi and is looking to bring him back, Conforto would fit just as well. He'd give the team another left-handed power bat to pair with Anthony Rizzo and could thrive at Yankee Stadium, where he'd be able to take advantage of the short porch in right field and potentially threaten his career-high of 33 homers from 2019. He's also proven he can handle the pressure of playing in New York.

1. San Diego Padres

The Padres are already stacked and just spent a truckload of money on Xander Bogaerts, but they could still use a lefty slugger, especially at a corner outfield spot. Bogaerts, Manny Machado and Fernando Tatis Jr. are all right-handed, so Conforto would help balance the lineup. And as mentioned, Conforto is from the West Coast and could be looking to return to his roots this offseason.
