Once part of a talented young core in New York, J.D. Davis and Michael Conforto ‘very happy’ to team up again with SF Giants.
SAN FRANCISCO — By last year’s trade deadline, the excitement that Michael Conforto and J.D. Davis felt during their ascendent 2019 felt like eons ago. Once part of a promising young core in New York, Conforto’s shoulder rehab had kept him off the field all season, and Davis’ patience was wearing thin as he struggled to see the field consistently despite a clean bill of health.
“My head turned,” Davis said, “because I was like, no way, I’m going home right now. This is the best case scenario for me.” “I always felt like if he could get into the lineup consistently, he could be an All-Star, Gold Glove guy,” Conforto said. “I think he’s super talented. Hits the out of the ball. He’s got serious pop the other way. So I was really fired up to see he’s getting a little bit more of an opportunity and being closer to home.”
As they made a playoff push in the second half of 2019, Davis and Conforto were as much members of the Mets’ promising young core as Pete Alonso and Jeff McNeil and Brandon Nimmo. While they eventually fell three games short, they pulled themselves into the race with a stretch of 14 wins in 15 games during July and August and stayed in the race until the finish line, winning 14 of their final 20 games.
