Conforto missed the entire 2022 campaign with a shoulder injury but has finished his rehab and is back to 100%, sources told Morosi, who adds the 29-year-old could take a one-year deal to rebuild value and re-enter free agency next offseason.
When healthy, Conforto has been a productive player throughout his career. The left-handed hitter owns a .255/.356/.468 slash line with 132 home runs, 141 doubles, and 396 RBIs in seven seasons, all with the Mets.
The one-time All-Star has also hit more than 27 homers three times in his career and posted an OPS above .900 twice.
The Mets and Chicago Cubs are also reportedly eyeing Conforto.
