Between the signings of Starling Marte and Mark Canha, the New York Mets have been very active in deepening their outfield depth, overall across their roster there’s even been talks of possibly trading Jeff McNeil or Dom Smith. While we don’t know if there’s any truth behind that, if the Mets really are willing to deal one of those guys, it is true that those acquisitions have put the ball club in a more comfortable situation. That’s of great significance regarding a specific free agent: Michael Conforto.
Coming off his worst season since 2016, Conforto certainly cost himself a significant amount of money over the 2021 season.
