NEW YORK (AP) — Sean Manaea and the New York Mets finalized a $75 million, three-year contract Friday night that keeps one of the team's best pitchers last season at the front of a remodeled rotation.
The sides agreed to terms earlier this week, subject to a successful physical.
Manaea emerged as New York's top starter in 2024 during his first season with the club, going 12-6 with a 3.47 ERA in 32 outings. The left-hander declined his player option for 2025, passing up the final $13.5 million of a $28 million, two-year deal he signed in January, to become a free agent for the third straight offseason.
Then he turned down a $21.05 million qualifying offer from the Mets last month to hit the open market again.
