Sean Manaea Advocates for Pete Alonso's Return Amid Mets' Offseason Moves

The Mets pitcher, training with free agent Pete Alonso, expresses desire for his return while praising the team's family-oriented culture.

Sean Manaea, who recently signed a three-year, $75 million contract with the Mets, has been training regularly with Pete Alonso, who remains a free agent.
Manaea has publicly voiced his hope that Alonso re-signs with the Mets, emphasizing his admiration for Alonso's work ethic and contributions to the team.
The Mets have been active this offseason, including the record-breaking signing of Juan Soto to a 15-year, $765 million deal, adding depth to their roster.
Manaea credits the Mets' coaching staff and family-oriented atmosphere, led by owner Steve Cohen and his wife Alex, as key factors in his decision to stay with the team.
As he prepares for the 2025 season, Manaea is working on refining his changeup while reflecting on his career-best performance in 2024.
