DALLAS (AP) — Outfielder Michael Conforto and the Los Angeles Dodgers have agreed to a $17 million, one-year contract, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press.
The person spoke Sunday night on condition of anonymity because the agreement, first reported by MLB.com, was subject to a successful physical.
Conforto, a former first-round draft pick who turns 32 on March 1, hit .237 with 20 homers and 66 RBIs this year for San Francisco in the final season of a $36 million, two-year contract.
He played for the New York Mets from 2015-21, becoming an All-Star in 2017. Conforto turned down an $18.4 million offer from the Mets, then didn’t sign for 2022 as he recovered from right shoulder surgery.
Conforto has a .251 career average with 167 homers and 520 RBIs in nine major league seasons.
