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.

Fans six in no-decision
Manaea did not factor into the decision in a win over the Giants on Wednesday, hurling 4.2 shutout innings while allowing four hits and four walks. He struck out six.
ANALYSIS
Manaea struck out the side in the first inning but got himself into trouble in the second after giving up two walks and a single to open the frame. Fortunately for the right-hander, he was still able to work his way out of it without seeing any runs come home while also working his way through a similar jam in the third. Manaea issued a season-high four walks in the contest and has surrendered multiple walks in all five of his outings to open the campaign. However, he's also limited opposing offenses to one or fewer runs three of his five starts.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Mets displaying interest
Manaea is drawing interest from the Mets, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Mets remain on the hunt for rotation help, with Hyun Jin Ryu piquing their interest in addition to Manaea. The 31-year-old Manaea had an up-and-down 2023 season in San Francisco but finished strong, posting a 3.43 ERA in the second half and a 2.25 ERA in his final four starts. The Giants used the lefty in a variety of roles, but Manaea would figure to settle in as a regular member of the Mets' rotation.

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.
