Mets YouTube Channel: Sean Manaea Press Conference 1/13/2025


NY Post: Sean Manaea implores Mets to bring back workout buddy Pete Alonso. "The left-hander has already been teammates in San Diego with newly signed Met Juan Soto and he’s been working out at a gym in Tampa alongside Pete Alonso, who remains a free agent...Manaea said he “very much” wants Alonso to return to the Mets, but the two sides remain apart in their negotiations." 

Laura Albanese Newsday: Mets' Sean Manaea one of many players who appreciate club's view on family values. "Juan Soto, while certainly motivated to come to the Mets thanks to a history-making $765 million contract, said much of the same. The Mets promised to take care of his family and offered them a suite for their personal use. And when asked about it, owner Steve Cohen gave all the credit to his wife, Alex, who seemingly has made it a mission to ensure that wives and children are not treated as afterthoughts but as living, breathing members of this team."

NY Daily News: Sean Manaea thrilled to return to Mets after career-best season: ‘I thought it was a perfect fit’. "In the clubhouse, his veteran voice was respected... The Mets excelled last season in part because of a clubhouse culture that not only allows players to show their personalities but encourages them to as well...he encouraged the starting pitching group to support one another late in the season and during the postseason. He started wearing the number of the game’s starter in eye black and dancing with the pitchers in the dugout after they came out of games."

Isaac's Blog: The Met's Next Breakout Reliever? "An Analysis of Tyler Zuber. Tyler Zuber, acquired by the New York Mets from the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for minor league reliever Paul Gervase at the 2024 trade deadline, has flown under the radar. With limited MLB experience, Zuber is now working tirelessly to cement himself as a key component of the Mets bullpen in 2025. The 29-year-old right-hander has been grinding this offseason with Pitching Coach “U,” an independent pitching development company. Zuber has uploaded multiple pictures and videos documenting his progress, drawing attention for some nasty pitches."

Things didn't go well for Tyler after the Mets acquired him at the Trade Deadline last year as he went 0 and 3 with a 12+ ERA.
