The Mets officially announced that they signed Sean Manaea to a three-year contract. It was reported this past week that Manaea would return to the Mets on a three-year, $75 million deal, which now becomes official.
President of baseball operations David Stearns said in a statement, “Sean was an integral part of what the team accomplished last season. He impressed on the field leading the rotation and in the clubhouse with his character, attitude, and composure. I am excited to watch him continue to flourish over the next few years.”
Manaea went 12-6 with a 3.47 ERA and became a fan favorite in his first season with the Mets, and now, he’ll be sticking around for the foreseeable future.
