Manaea was one of the two gambles—the other being Luis Severino, who penned a record contract with the Athletics—signed by president of baseball operations David Stearns at the start of the 2024 season to lead the pitching staff. The 32-year-old emerged as the team's ace, going 12-6 with a 3.47 ERA. He also pitched a regular season high of 181.2 innings.
