Dodgers sign a left-handed hitting outfielder.... no, not that one

They made a pretty under-the-radar move

Unfortunately, my dreams of Juan Soto being a Dodger were crushed last night. Soto signed a record-breaking $765 million contract with the Mets (yeah, that’s a lot of money!)

Although I wasn’t expecting Soto to be a Dodger, I did have a glimmer of hope. That hope was pretty much shattered about 30 minutes before he signed, as it was announced the Dodgers had signed a different left-handed hitting outfielder instead.

According to multiple reports, the Dodgers and outfielder Michael Conforto have agreed to a one-year contract worth somewhere in the ballpark of $17 million.

When I got the notification, I was pretty surprised, as Conforto wasn’t a player I had anywhere close on my radar this offseason. After giving it some time to digest, I absolutely love this move.
