"With their chances of trading 3B Isaac Paredes diminishing, the Astros have expressed interest in free agent OF Michael Conforto, a source tells MLB. com. A LH hitter, the 32-year-old slashed .199/.305/.333 last year with 12 homers and 36 RBIs in 128 games for the Dodgers.- Brian McTaggart (@brianmctaggart) February 18, 2026 They have tried to trade infielder Isaac Paredes - the odd man out in a crowded infield - in search of a left-handed bat."
"The veteran had the worst season of his career with L.A., slashing .199/.305/.333 across 138 games during the season. He stayed as the Dodgers' everyday left fielder despite his shortcomings and managed to slightly improve towards the latter end of the season, but he still fell well short of his expectations for the season. Conforto had 12 home runs and 36 RBIs during the season, and recorded a career-low .637 OPS. He didn't make a single appearance in the postseason for the Dodgers, as they left him off their postseason rosters."
Michael Conforto, 32, attracted interest from the Houston Astros as they search for a left-handed bat to play left field. Conforto signed a one-year, $17 million contract with the Dodgers for 2025 and posted a career-worst .199/.305/.333 line with 12 homers, 36 RBIs and a .637 OPS across 138 games. The Dodgers kept him as their everyday left fielder despite struggles and left him off the postseason roster. Houston's corner options include Yordan Álvarez (primarily DH) and José Altuve (better suited to the infield). With trade talks for Isaac Paredes fading, Houston explored Conforto, while Los Angeles later signed Kyle Tucker and moved Teoscar Hernández to left.
