The New York Mets boosted their rotation Sunday when they signed veteran lefty Sean Manaea to a two-year, $28 million contract. Jon Heyman at the Post was first with the story, and added that Manaea’s deal includes an opt-out after 2024.
Manaea spent last season with the San Francisco Giants and posted a 4.44 ERA in 37 games (ten starts). He was demoted to the bullpen after early struggles, but started throwing a sweeper and saw instant improvement. Manaea’s ERA for the last two months of the season was a much-improved 2.87. He also reclaimed his spot in the rotation.
