2023 Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks

Signs with Giants
Manaea signed a two-year, $25 million contract with the Giants on Monday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Manaea will remain in the NL West after spending the 2022 campaign with the Padres, going 8-9 while posting a 4.96 ERA and 1.30 WHIP with 156 strikeouts over 158 innings in 30 appearances, including 28 starts. The 30-year-old will provide the Giants with another left-handed option in their starting rotation behind ace Logan Webb. In 2023, Manaea will look to bring his pitching numbers back down closer to his career 3.86 ERA and 1.20 WHIP that he had produced over his first five seasons in the MLB prior to 2022.

One can take away many positives and negatives when examining Manaea's 2021 campaign. While logging a career-high 179.1 innings, the southpaw conceded a career-worst 1.25 HR/9 despite seeing his K% shoot up to 25.7%. Even though he ditched his four-seamer entirely in favor of a sinker, Manaea's average fastball velocity rose nearly two mph to 92.2 while his groundball rate dropped to 42.0%. His 3.65 FIP shined his campaign in a better light than his 3.91 ERA, in large part because of the opposition hitting .318 on balls in play against him. The lefty's offspeed deliveries proved to be effective, with hitters slashing just .213 against his slider and .239 against his changeup. Assuming he's able to stay healthy, Manaea shouldn't have a problem eclipsing 150 innings during his age-30 season, but it's hard to envision him establishing more than the middle-of-the-rotation presence that he's held for the vast majority of his career.
