New York Mets pitcher Sean Manaea intends to opt out of his contract, according to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com.
Manaea, 32, went 12-6 with a 3.47 ERA in his first year in Queens. He threw 181.2 innings, struck out 184 batters, and made four starts in the postseason, going 2-1.
News: Sean Manaea intends to opt out of the $13.5 million option on his contract, per source.
No surprise there, as Manaea is likely to receive significant multi-year interest on the open market.

Manaea signed a two-year, $28 million deal with the Mets in January, but he had the right to opt out of the deal after earning $14.5 million. Had he not opted out, Manaea would have been owed $13.5 million next season.
