Michael Conforto to have season-ending shoulder surgery
PHOENIX — Michael Conforto’s free agency will spill over into next offseason.
Last offseason Conforto declined the Mets’ qualifying offer for this year worth $18.4 million as he pursued a larger deal. If Conforto signed elsewhere, the Mets would have recovered a draft pick in the No. 75-80 range overall. Taijuan Walker’s return to the Mets’ rotation will likely occur against the same opponent he last faced.
By holding Walker back until Friday or Saturday, the Mets can keep their rotation in order without disruption in terms of added days in between starts. Max Scherzer, Chris Bassitt and Carlos Carrasco will start the three games in St. Louis. The Mets have Thursday off.
