DALLAS (AP) — The Los Angeles Dodgers finalized a $17 million, one-year contract to add outfielder Michael Conforto on Tuesday along with a $22 million, two-year agreement to retain right-hander Blake Treinen. Conforto, a former first-round draft pick who turns 32 on March 1, hit .237 with 20 homers and 66 RBIs this year for San Francisco in the final season of a $36 million, two-year contract. He played for the New York Mets from 2015-21, becoming an All-Star in 2017. Conforto turned down an $18.4 million offer from the Mets, then didn’t sign for 2022 as he recovered from right shoulder surgery. Conforto has a .251 career average with 167 homers and 520 RBIs in nine major league seasons.
