During the offseason, Manaea has worked out with Pete Alonso in Tampa. The two are close friends. Predictably, Manaea said he “very much” hopes the Mets and Alonso can work out a deal. “Whatever happens with Pete, I’m always going to support him,” Manaea said, “but I would definitely love to have him back on the Mets and be our first baseman.”
As Sean Manaea ascended to become the Mets' ace, with the team's coaches providing support, the union proved to be an ideal symbiotic relationship.
Sean Manaea spoke to the media for the first time since re-signing with the New York Mets. As anticipated, other storylines were also discu
The Mets are working on Pete Alonso but a veteran pitcher could be the perfect finishing touch on their offseason.
