“It was heartbreaking a little bit. It gave me perspective, it gave me a chance to take a step back and view my career as a whole.”
Michael Conforto has one Splash Hit home run at Oracle Park to his name as a New York Met. With a surgically repaired right shoulder, the left-handed hitter is hoping to notch plenty more as the San Francisco Giants’ newest outfielder.
Physically, Conforto feels stronger every day. Mentally, missing a season of baseball in his prime motivates him to milk his moments on the field. In his seven years with the Mets, he batted .255 with a .356 on-base percentage and a .824 OPS. But shoulder issues Conforto says he’s had since his high school football days caught up to him. He had a shoulder cuff injury in 2019 and tore his left shoulder’s posterior capsule swinging through a pitch in 2017, requiring surgery.
The 32-year-old Mitch Haniger signed for three-years, $43.5 million after having played more than 100 games just twice in his five-year MLB career. He’s sustained a few flukey injuries, some requiring surgery. Newest bullpen addition Luke Jackson signed a two-year deal worth $11.3 million after missing all of 2022 rehabbing from Tommy John surgery.

Other bills targeting transgender people are expected in several additional states with GOP majorities. Gender-affirming health care providers and parents of trans youths are the primary targets.
