We all have our misses in life. There are those times that you are absolutely sure something will work out, even despite evidence to the contrary, just to have it blow up spectacularly in your face. That's what happened to the Los Angeles Dodgers with Michael Conforto in 2025.
Conforto has had something of a strange career. A first-round pick of the New York Mets in 2014, Conforto became their No. 5 overall prospect and rose to No. 82 on MLB Pipeline's top-100 in 2015, making his big league debut just over a year after being drafted out of Oregon State.
