Scott Boras: Michael Conforto garnering 'strong interest' from 'very good teams'

According to his agent, Scott Boras, free agent and former New York Mets outfielder, Michael Conforto, could return to a major league field as soon as September. 

Conforto, 29, became a free agent after last season but suffered a shoulder injury in January requiring what was believed to be season-ending surgery. 

Four teams, including the Toronto Blue Jays, have expressed interest in Conforto, Boras said during an appearance on "The Show" podcast with Joel Sherman and Jon Heyman of the New York Post.

"Ironically, now that the draft is over, is that there's no compensation associated with signing Michael, and we've got four phone calls this morning," Boras said. "Michael, he has extraordinary healing powers and the doctors are saying as we walk through this, there's potential for him potentially hitting in September certainly and we have to see.....how his rehab goes to fulfill that expectation. But there is very strong interest by some very good teams."
