The Los Angeles Dodgers have officially announced that they have signed outfielder Michael Conforto to a one-year contract valued at $17 million. This deal comes as the Dodgers look to bolster their lineup after an offseason of major changes. Conforto, who had previously spent the first seven seasons of his career with the New York Mets, brings a wealth of experience to the Dodgers’ outfield. He is expected to provide both power and consistency at the plate, after a season in which he batted .202 with 14 home runs and 55 RBIs. Dodgers general manager, Andrew Friedman, expressed enthusiasm for the addition, stating, ‘Michael is an elite talent that adds a proven track record of success in the Major Leagues. We believe he can significantly contribute to our team’s success moving forward.’ Meanwhile, in other MLB news, the Dodgers are also showing interest in outfielder Teoscar Hernández, while the Boston Red Sox reportedly have a mutual interest as well. Hernández, who played last season with the Seattle Mariners, is coming off a strong year where he hit .294 with 25 home runs. The Diamondbacks are contemplating a trade for a left-handed pitcher to enhance their roster. The moves across the league reflect an active offseason as teams prepare for the upcoming 2024 season.
