Sean Manaea was taken by the New York Mets' family feeling, just like Juan Soto. Manaea, who turns 33 on Feb. 1, had signed two-year deals in each of the previous two offseasons, first a $25 million agreement with San Francisco and then a $28 million deal with the Mets.

The Mets reintroduced the popular left-hander Monday afternoon in a Zoom conference, officially announcing his three-year, $75 million contract.

Japanese right-hander Roki Sasaki and his representative reportedly met with the Mets, but the team was informed that it is no longer in the running for his services, according to a report from MLB Network insider Jon Heyman.

While Sasaki might have been a luxury for the Yankees, the Mets still may need to add a top starter to join Kodai Senga, Sean Manaea, David Peterson, Frankie Montas and Clay Holmes in a rotation that shows promise but also has some question marks.

Roki Sasaki, 23, a standout Japanese starting pitcher, will not be joining the Yankees' stacked rotation. He also will not join the Mets.
