Left-hander Sean Manaea and the New York Mets are in agreement on a three-year, $75 million contract, sources told ESPN, keeping the veteran with the team he helped lead to a surprise National League Championship Series appearance.
Manaea, 32, blossomed into a front-half-of-the-rotation starter with the Mets this year, going 12-6 with a 3.47 ERA and striking out 184 over 181.2 innings pitched. The deal, which is pending a physical, will more than double Manaea's career earnings and continues a winter of lavish spending for the Mets.
Last winter, Manaea signed with the Mets for two years and $28 million.
