Show Notes

The New York Mets have reassigned left-hander Sean Manaea to a long relief role for the season opener, following a disappointing spring training. Manaea, who had a strong 2022 season but struggled last year, will piggyback behind starters for at least the first two rotations. The move is due to concerns over his current form and a drop in fastball velocity. Manaea remains focused on helping the team win, and his performance could lead to a return to the rotation later in the season. The shift also impacts the bullpen competition, providing an additional left-handed option in high-leverage situations.
