Former Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Michael Conforto is now a member of the Chicago Cubs, signing a major league deal with the team to essentially replace the loss of new Dodger Kyle Tucker.
Conforto was signed ahead of the 2025 season to serve as a corner outfielder who can provide quality at-bats to complement the top of the Dodgers’ lineup.
Even in the middle of the lineup, Conforto failed to be even league-average at the plate, having a horrid season and being one of the worst high-salary, one-year deals in recent memory.
To make matters worse, his defense was also poor on the whole, and he did not offer anything on the basepaths, meaning he was dead weight on the roster by the end of the year and did not make the postseason team.
