Sean Manaea

Sean Manaea received some praise for his bounceback 2024 season with the Mets, a lone fifth-place vote on the NL Cy Young ballot.

It's now official. Nick Martinez was the lone recipient to accept a qualifying offer this offseason cycle, becoming just the 14th to do so since the system was implemented back in 2012. That leaves Juan Soto, Willy Adames, Pete Alonso, Alex Bregman, Corbin Burnes, Max Fried, Teoscar Hernandez, Christian Walker, Sean Manaea, Anthony Santander, Luis Severino and Pivetta officially heading to free agency. Their respective teams will receive draft pick compensation if they wind up signing elsewhere. No real surprises here besides Pivetta, who ESPN's Jeff Passan indicated last week has at least a "three-year deal" waiting for him on the open market.

Pete Alonso, Sean Manaea, and Luis Severino have rejected the Mets one-year qualifying offer.

Left-hander Sean Manaea will reject the $21.05MM qualifying offer that was extended to him by the Mets, per Alden Gonz lez of ESPN (X link). The southpaw was one of 13 players who received a qualifying offer this year, with the deadline for decisions tomorrow at 3pm Central. As noted by Gonz lez, the news doesn’t come…

Left-hander Sean Manaea will reject the Mets 2025 qualifying offer, in a move that was widely expected.
