Michael Conforto, the New York Mets’ stellar right fielder, will play the 2021 season under his last year of team control. He will be paid $12.25 million in his third arbitration-eligible season, but once the World Series is over, he is, as of now, ticketed to test the free agent waters.
Conforto was a force from the plate in 2020, with a .322/.412/.515 line, nine home runs and a 157 wRC+. The Mets would be smart to show a little more proactivity towards a potential contract extension.
The New York Mets have been extremely busy this offseason, linked with just about every major free agent and having signed Trevor May, James McCann, Aaron Loup, plus the additions of Francisco Lindor and Carlos Carrasco via trade.
