Manaea, 32, blossomed into a front-half-of-the-rotation starter with the Mets this year, going 12-6 with a 3.47 ERA and striking out 184 over 181.2 innings pitched.
The starting pitching market, in particular, has been a boon for players, with Manaea the sixth pitcher to sign a free agent deal exceeding $21 million per year.
Manaea left a strong enough impression on the Mets... that adding him to the Mets' winter haul proved too alluring to pass up.
Their total free agent spending on the winter is $916.25 million, which reflects the Mets' aggressive approach to bolster their roster.
