2) Cleveland Guardians

The Cleveland Guardians are the other team that Mike Rodríguez has said that has reached out to Michael Conforto and his agent, Scott Boras.

While Steven Kwan has been phenomenal, they still need some offensive help in the outfield, even if Kwan plays well throughout the year. The Guardians’ offense from their outfield has been atrocious for two decades now so it’s about time they a) spend money on free agents to help the players they have extended and b) get somebody who has a proven bat in the outfield.

3) Colorado Rockies

The Colorado Rockies have a lot of outfielders so there isn’t a direct fit for him there (unless they trade an outfielder or make one a full-time DH, which they won’t and probably shouldn’t do). But Michael Conforto would be another big upgrade to the team, a team that upgraded their offense this offseason.

They also got a draft pick from the Red Sox when they lost Trevor Story to them in free agency so that aspect would be a wash.

There are few more reasons why they should sign him but you can read more about that here.
