Astros Eye Free Agent Michael Conforto Amid Dwindling Trade Options

The Houston Astros are reportedly eyeing free agent outfielder Michael Conforto as a left-handed hitting option, with their trade market options dwindling. Conforto, 32, slashed .199/.305/.333 with 12 homers and 36 RBIs in 128 games for the Dodgers last season. The article notes he's 'a shell of what he once was' post-2021 shoulder surgery, showing some power but poor contact and defense.
