We will keep you updated…

Today: 1:17 p.m.

Jim Callis of Baseball America has reported the Mets have agreed to terms with their first-round pick, Oregon State outfielder Michael Conforto, to a deal with a bonus of $2,970,800, the exact slot value assigned to that pick.

Although he is a college bat with less leverage than a high school player, it was thought that Conforto and agent Scott Boras could get more than the slot value, but that did not happen.

In his junior season with Oregon State, Conforto hit .345/.504/.547 with seven home runs in 59 games. In 182 total college games, Conforto has a batting line of .340/.463/.557 with 31 home runs, 44 doubles, and four triples. He was considered by many experts to be the best college hitter in this year’s draft.

    Lets get the party started, September call up? DW needs the protection in the lineup. We can only hope.

    He’s likely going to spend a three weeks to a month at Brooklyn, hopefully making his way to at least St. Lucie by the end of the year, and then spending time in the Arizona Fall League. That’s the best case scenario. Realistically, the earliest he could possibly be with the club would be late next season, with Nimmo available ideally just after Super-2.
