that was among the most baffling non re-signings the Mets ever did, he was the real unsung hero if you look at that stretch in September and October '24 , I know in the off-season he expressed a strong desire to return to the Mets, he would have been cheap as hell, instead he gives 35 million to a broken down Frankie Montas who hadn't been good in years, even in spring training Manaea got hurt and Quintana was still available and Stearns choose not to sign him, he pitched very well for the Brewers last year and they almost definitely would have made the playoffs had they re-signed him
