White Sox Express Interest in Free Agent Michael Conforto

The rebuilding club is evaluating a low-cost stopgap with potential rebound value.

Overview

Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports Chicago has interest in the former All-Star outfielder.
Conforto struggled in 2025 with the Dodgers, hitting .199/.305/.333 with 12 home runs and missing the postseason roster.
Right field is unsettled for Chicago as Luis Robert Jr. and Andrew Benintendi occupy the other spots and could be trade candidates.
A short-term pact is viewed as a buy-low play, supported by indicators such as an 11.5% walk rate and 77th-percentile bat speed last season.
Internal options Brooks Baldwin, Tristan Peters, Derek Hill and Everson Pereira, along with top prospect Braden Montgomery, are also in the mix.
