Long-time New York Post baseball scribe Ken Davidoff released his annual free-agent predictions Sunday night, and he has the Philadelphia Phillies signing two notable veterans.
Davidoff predicted that the Phillies will sign outfielder Michael Conforto to a six-year/$140 million deal and closer Kenley Jansen to a three-year/$40 million pact.
It would be quite the investment in Conforto given that he had a disappointing contract year, posting a .729 OPS in 125 games. However, he won’t turn 29 until March and had posted an .875 OPS between the 2019 and 2020 seasons.
First, Conforto will have to reject the one-year/$18.
