METS SIGN SEAN MANAEA REACTION

[@AntTalks]

Was waiting on this signing to buy a Manaea jersey, saw the news at 3am and immediately placed my order. He was by far one of my favorite Mets in recent history.

[@michaelsegriff3362]

I like it. Welcome back, Sean.

[@RestaurantManager101]

I love this signing baby!!! LGM! I woke up to the Walker Bueler signing and got so pissed but I didn’t realize we resigned Sean. So happy

[@baseballfan1918]

Great Pod! Just found your guys channel. Can’t wait to watch during the upcoming season.

Welcome back, Sean. I love that he's back. Now, sign Alonso and a Frontline starting pitcher.

[@stevemammen5595]

Dude...The Mets need to pursue Pablo Lopez with the Twins and unload the likes of Betty, others. This solidifies the rotation!!

[@billkarim9715]

I don't think they *need* to necessarily, but honestly he's at least as intriguing as Castillo as a trade target. I do agree that we *need* to unload Baty this winter though

[@dashx1103]

Yep. I hate Betty. She is the worst. Such a b-word.

[@fr2ncm9]

@@billkarim9715 Baty still has too much potential upside. At the least he is a utility man with above-average power. Good utility players can cost up to 6 million(Thommy Edman anyone). He has always hit well in the minors. in 2023 he was basically promoted to the big leagues from AA. This past season, he had only 50 games to prove himself. He hit 276 on the road and 184 at home. He still deserves a shot.

[@BKDBut]

​@@fr2ncm9I completely disagree. And in 2023 I was fighting basically all Mets fans saying Vientos is legit and needs to play The fact that Baty crushes AAA and is so weak in MLB is a bad sign. It shows he's not just slumping. He will be doing nothing in MLB, go to AAA and hit 3 HRs his 2nd game. He'll be hitting 340 in AAA, come to MLB, hit 150 with 1 homer in 100 ABs

[@fr2ncm9]

He was"weak" in 2023. He had very little opportunity to prove himself in 2024. 50 games? Some Mets fans are saying we should that Acunua belongs on the team based on only 26 MLB games.

[@ketorising81]

I can’t be the only one that’s really concerned about Senga’s ability to stay healthy for the season. I’d feel a lot better if we had one more pitcher that could serve as a 2 or 3.

[@JamesSchiano]

Definitely worried about that too, but I'm also way more confident than the Holmes/Montas duo than most

[@DJxGameHunter]

1/3 of my Christmas list is here Get me Pete and get me Bregman

[@dashx1103]

I just want Pete. Not that enthused about Bregman. He’s plan B for me.

[@michalaleskandr3985]

That would be nice... but we need that and a better rotation mate, too. Even with Senga! It would be all for nothing without more security in the pen or a better established overall rotation. We need to have the capacity to go long... because when we see the Dodgers again, which will happen, we can't get blown out like last time. Because even with the games we won, we gave up a lot of runs!

[@leonmoore9427]

Sasaki

[@dashx1103]

@@michalaleskandr3985 But, in fairness, the Dodgers are a historically strong offensive team. And, note, the Dodgers rotation was in somewhat disarray as they made that championship run. So, it isn't like they were throwing out Koufax and Drysdale night after night. I like the potential of this rotation as it stands, and I like the depth. I think the Mets are positioned now where they, if it makes sense, can swing a trade-deadline deal to bolster the rotation. I will be surprised if the Mets pursue other starting pitching now, other than Sasaki. And I will be okay with that if the Mets do two other things: 1) fill out the lineup, and for me that means Alonso (and probably Winker -- a LHB to complement Marte); and 2) bolster the bullpen (I like Diaz on a huge bounce-back season, I love Nunez as a set up option, and I like Garrett in the middle -- beyond that there is work to be done).

[@user-yg9sc6gc1r]

​@dashx1103 but he'd be a great defensive upgrade at 3b...right?

[@ShahrooziFashion]

Yes!!! Now let’s get Burnes, Alonso, Bregman, and one more strong bullpen arm. We need couple more good hitters, another ace and another good bullpen pitcher

[@christian37837]

Their not getting all that 😂

[@dashx1103]

@@christian37837 Agree. They'll try for Sasaki, but other than that I doubt they'll sign another starter. And I don't see a world in which the Mets sign both Bregman and Alonso. Certainly agree the Mets need more bullpen help.

[@SharonMclean-y8c]

Alexis Diaz!!

[@AndyMilonakis-j5p]

Why are some of yall like this? Yall rather blow your load for a few seasons instead of building a stable contender for the next decade plus?

Mets should go after framber now

[@Standdividedfalltogether]

Very nice job sterns. We need Pete an ace trade and 2 pen arms and I think we can win it all. Confident we will get. Can even wait till all star break for the ace. We’re making the playoffs. Save money get a rental on a stud wanting a big contract. Not a terrible plan.

@Mets'd Up Podcast. Jaysus. Manaea's last 10 starts needed a .191 BABIP just get him a 3.79 ERA, 4.05 FIP, 4.08 SIERA. Maddux's BABIP his four Cy Young seasons was .260. Kershaw, career, .274 iirc. ---Manaea was incredibly lucky, in short, fluking his way to a 3.51 ERA and 3.98 FIP since the AS break. A .191 BABIP across 10 starts might be an historical record---the best I could find for Doggie as .221. Manaea also put up a 4.04 ERA his last 14 starts of the year, 10 regular season and 4 postseason games. That's some 'breakthrough.' Last 5 regular season starts? 4.06 ERA, 4.30 FIP. 4.74 ERA in the 2024 postseason. And he's somehow a big game pitcher?? Do the homework, gentlemen---THEN do the broadcast.

[@marcoslaureano5562]

We've got two excellent left handers in Manaea and Peterson.

[@RonKemp-x1k]

I gained a lot more respect for him, early in the season, when he chose to change his appearance with the elimination of the the excess hair.

A first time starter in holmes? A bad starter who already failed in NY w montass? MeGill who always sucks? Hope Peterson doesnt pull a peterson and suck half a season? Hope Manaea can repeat a year, which he hasnt in uears? There’s more hope on this roster than there was in Star Wars.

[@joseaponte4309]

Bro go talk about the Yankees back off

[@fr2ncm9]

Peterson has always shown talent. The only reason why his numbers looked bad in 23 was because he had one abysmal month that skewed his ERA. If Megill doesn't work out, they can trade him.

[@billf23351]

Well, they of course had to pay him more than the Sevi's 3 yr for $67 mill

[@dashx1103]

Of course. Manaea is a better pitcher and had a better season.

Sleepy Stearns? As I understand it, Stearns was visited by the ghosts of Mets baseball past, present, and future ... then he immediately ran to the phone and locked up Manaea.

[@stanplummer26]

[@fr2ncm9]

I think he's just being smart. Getting Manaea for three years instead of four, makes more sense. The Mets will sign Alonso, but he won't get more than 5 years.

Hope he gets more visits & signs Pete. He belongs with us.

[@addictedtoJB]

So now, with "all this money," do we sign Pete or wait for Vlad next season?

[@user-yg9sc6gc1r]

Mets probably sign Pete to a 6 year deal

[@addictedtoJB]

@user-yg9sc6gc1r why do that when they can just plug in Ronny or Acuña at 1B? Then go after Vlad next season? We'd be saving a lot of money by using the resources we already have; like Jett, Gilbert, and Ronny, etc

[@riddlememary]

I’m glad he’s back but 75 mil is way to much

[@dashx1103]

It's fair. He took 3 years, and no doubt Manaea went into the offseason seeking more. Bumping up that AAV and locking him up for 3 years is just perfect, .. IMO.

[@AndyMilonakis-j5p]

Hows this too much lol? Have you not been paying attention to this pitching market? Kikuchi got $21M, sevy $22, an older player in eovaldi got the same Manaea deal. If anything, manaea prob took lesser years and money to stay in new york. Yall need to compare the deals based on current markets, not what YOU personally feel is an overpay. Once kikuchi got the 3/63 the market was kind of set from there.

[@rickymartello9401]

[@davidortiz0802]

Sayin that they might be done as far as pitching is concerned, is not good to hear. They need an ace. They don’t have one. Manaea is a 2 and Senga is a three. They have a “spin the wheel” for 4 & 5.

[@fr2ncm9]

I think Stearns and other GM's see the handwriting on the wall.The Dodgers won without an ace, and the Tigers made the playoffs with bullpen games. More teams are going to focus on the strength of their bullpen.

[@fr2ncm9]

Clarification. They went into the playoffs without an ace.
