Sean Manaea is returning to the New York Mets on a significant three-year, $75 million contract. The left-handed pitcher had a standout season, achieving a 12-6 record and a 3.47 ERA in 32 starts, solidifying his role as the team's top starter.

After declining a player option and a qualifying offer, Manaea's reunion with the Mets comes as they aim to strengthen their rotation, having already signed several key free agents this offseason.
