Starting pitcher Sean Manaea is returning for a second season with the New York Mets.
Manaea agreed to a three-year, $75 million contract to rejoin the Mets, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.
Manaea joined the Mets last winter on a two-year, $28 million pact that included an option for 2025. After opting out, he declined a $21.05 million qualifying offer in order to test free agency after recording a 3.47 ERA through 32 starts in New York.
His best stretch of the season started in late July, when Manaea worked on lowering his arm slot in an effort to imitate the style of Atlanta Braves ace Chris Sale, per Anthony DiComo of MLB.
