The former San Francisco Giants All-Star is only expected to sign a $4.6 million deal

The San Francisco Giants roster could look very different in 2025. Honestly, there clearly needs to be changes after another tough season.

Among the players who could disappear from the team is Michael Conforto.

Conforto, a former All-Star, hasn’t played as well as many had hoped when the Giants signed him. A lot of this is due to health issues, but Conforto was once a much better player.

His upcoming free agency is interesting. Although there’s reason to believe he’s on his way out, he told Evan Webeck of The Mercury News that he’s “open” to a return.

“I am of course open to re-signing. I like it here,” Conforto said. “But I think a lot still has to happen in the offseason and we won’t know how realistic that is until the end of the offseason.”

Still, Conforto understands that he was unavailable at times. However, he believes he is slowly getting healthy and is now just focused on helping his team win games.

“As far as production goes, no,” Conforto said. “But physically, yes. It’s crazy to think back to last year and I was just hoping to start the season on opening day. This year it’s not even a thought. … It’s more about going out there, competing and winning games — not about staying healthy.”

The question of his free representation is about the amount of money he would receive in a contract. Spotrac recently predicted he would sign a one-year, $4.6 million deal.

If Conforto could be had for less than $5 million, taking a chance on San Francisco wouldn’t be the worst idea. Even if he does as well as he did in 2024 with a 114 OPS+ and 20 home runs, that’s a great value for his performance.

Still, his time with the Giants is viewed as unfortunate. Conforto admitted he wished he had played better, but it didn’t happen that way.

“I wish I had played better for us in some big games and felt like there were still some goals on the field,” he said. “But overall I feel like I hit the ball harder and did more damage than I did last year. So I feel like a lot of those things are coming back.”

With San Francisco’s final game on Sunday, it could be his last time putting on a Giants jersey.
