2024 Fantasy Outlook
A trip to Driveline last offseason helped Manaea unlock more velocity, with the 93.6 mph he averaged with his four-seamer in 2023 representing more than a two-mph jump from 2022. He also had a 25.7 percent strikeout rate which was just a hair off his career high. Manaea's bottom-line results were uneven, though, due in part to a walk rate that climbed for a third straight year to a career-worst 8.4 percent. The left-hander also never seemed to settle into his hybrid role with the Giants, as he was used as a starter, bulk reliever and short reliever at various points. Manaea did finish strong after being used as a traditional starter in his final four appearances, which might have convinced him to exercise the opt-out clause in his contract. There's a path to mixed-league relevancy if Manaea lands in a good situation, particularly if his velocity gains hold. That said, Manaea has rarely been a consistent fantasy option in his career.

Just misses quality start
Manaea pitched 5.2 innings in a no-decision against Texas on Wednesday, allowing three runs on two hits and three walks while striking out six batters.
ANALYSIS
Manaea gave up just one run through five frames but ran into trouble in the sixth. In that frame, a two-out Josh Smith double narrowed New York's lead to one and resulted in Manaea getting the hook. Reliever Sean Reid-Foley followed by allowing his inherited runner to score, taking Manaea out of contention for a victory. It was still a pretty strong outing overall for the left-handed starter, though he's now failed to complete six innings in each of his past five starts.

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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Diminished trade value?
According to Jeff Passan of ESPN.com, Manaea's $13.5 million player option for 2025 will likely make him a less attractive trade target for contending teams this summer.
ANALYSIS
The Mets aren't guaranteed to be sellers at the deadline and are actually just three games back of the final wild-card spot, but being eight games under .500 puts them in a precarious position. Manaea inked a one-year, $14.5 million deal in January, but the option year means he's not truly a rental. His 4.30 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 60:25 K:BB over 60.2 innings is decent enough, so it's not a sure thing he exercises the 2025 option. However, an injury or poor second half would significantly alter that outlook.
