The Dodgers have agreed to a $17 million, one-year contract with Conforto and a $22 million, two-year deal with Treinen
The Los Angeles Dodgers have agreed to a $17 million, one-year contract with outfielder Michael Conforto and a $22 million, two-year deal with right-handed pitcher Blake Treinen, sources familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press.
The sources, speaking on condition of anonymity because the deals were still subject to successful physicals, confirmed the agreements. MLB.com was the first to report Conforto’s deal.
Conforto, who will turn 32 on March 1, had a .237 batting average with 20 home runs and 66 RBIs in his final season with San Francisco in 2023, which was the last year of a $36 million, two-year contract. Conforto played for the New York Mets from 2015 to 2021 and became an All-Star in 2017. He declined an $18.4 million offer from the Mets and did not play in 2022 while recovering from right shoulder surgery.
Over nine seasons in the majors, Conforto has a .251 career batting average, 167 home runs, and 520 RBIs.
Treinen, 36, missed the 2023 MLB season while recovering from labrum and rotator cuff surgery in November 2022. He also suffered a bruised lung in March 2023 after being hit by a line drive off the bat of Sam Huff of the Texas Rangers. Treinen didn’t make his season debut until May 5.
In 2022, Treinen went 7-3 with a 1.93 ERA in 50 relief appearances, striking out 56 and walking 11 in 46 2/3 innings. He was 2-0 with a 2.19 ERA in nine postseason appearances, helping his team win the World Series.
Treinen had a $1 million base salary in the final year of a contract that originally called for an $8 million salary in 2023.
