Sean Manaea and the New York Mets have reached a significant agreement, finalizing a $75 million, three-year contract that solidifies the team's pitching rotation. Manaea, who emerged as the Mets' top starter in 2024, had an impressive season with a 12-6 record and a 3.47 ERA in 32 appearances. The left-hander declined his player option for 2025 to become a free agent, ultimately choosing to re-sign with the Mets.
The Mets' president of baseball operations praised Manaea's contributions both on and off the field, highlighting his leadership and performance. The signing of Manaea adds a key piece to the Mets' revamped rotation, which also includes new additions such as Juan Soto, Frankie Montas, Clay Holmes, and Griffin Canning.
