Michael Conforto Open to Signing Free-Agent Contract After 2022 MLB Draft

Major League Baseball teams will have the chance to add a veteran piece to their outfield without having to trade anyone in July.

Michael Conforto's agent, Scott Boras, told Joel Sherman of the New York Post his client will be open to signing with a team following the draft that lasts from July 17-19. Since the New York Mets made him a qualifying offer, there will be draft-pick compensation tied to him until the draft is over.

"No team will sign Michael before then," Boras said while revealing "multiple" clubs have reached out about potentially signing him in the aftermath.
