2024 Fantasy Outlook
A trip to Driveline last offseason helped Manaea unlock more velocity, with the 93.6 mph he averaged with his four-seamer in 2023 representing more than a two-mph jump from 2022. He also had a 25.7 percent strikeout rate which was just a hair off his career high. Manaea's bottom-line results were uneven, though, due in part to a walk rate that climbed for a third straight year to a career-worst 8.4 percent. The left-hander also never seemed to settle into his hybrid role with the Giants, as he was used as a starter, bulk reliever and short reliever at various points. Manaea did finish strong after being used as a traditional starter in his final four appearances, which might have convinced him to exercise the opt-out clause in his contract. There's a path to mixed-league relevancy if Manaea lands in a good situation, particularly if his velocity gains hold. That said, Manaea has rarely been a consistent fantasy option in his career.

The Padres acquired Manaea from the A's after the end of the lockout in March 2022, but he delivered a disappointing season with a career-worst 4.96 ERA and was briefly dropped from the rotation in September. He gave up 29 home runs with a 14.9 percent HR/FB and also saw his groundball rate dip below 40 percent for the first time in his big-league career. Manaea got a two-year, $25 million deal with the Giants, which is a good landing spot and a sizable enough contract for us to feel confident in his role. Oracle Park is one of the five best parks at suppressing home runs, so that could make Manaea a strong home-streaming option. His changeup and slider each showed promising characteristics, so if he can dial back his fastball usage (61% last season), he could have a nice rebound in 2023.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely to decline 2025 option
Manaea is likely to decline his $13.5 million player option for 2025 after the season, reports Jon Heyman of the New York Post.
ANALYSIS
The left-hander joined the Mets on a one-year, $14.5 million contract for 2024, and he's expected to decline the option for 2025 given how well he's pitched this season. Manaea is arguably in the midst of the best season of his career with a 3.44 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 125:51 K:BB across 123 innings, so he'll likely be going after a sizable multi-year contract during the offseason.
