3 former San Diego Padres failing miserably on their new teams

3. Sean Manaea

It's been a tough slog thus far for former Padres' lefty Sean Manaea, who has taken up residence in San Francisco for the 2023 season.

After following Bob Melvin to San Diego in 2022, Manaea finished with a mediocre 4.96 ERA in 28 starts for the Padres, though he did toss 158 innings total.

2023 has been worse for the southpaw, who has seen his ERA shoot up to 6.60 for the Giants across three starts and 15 innings pitched. This includes a recent drubbing by the New York Mets, who tagged Manaea for five earned runs in less than four innings pitched.

It's clear that the Padres don't miss having Manaea around in 2023, especially as they have other rotation options in Michael Wacha, Seth Lugo and Nick Martinez, as well as lefty Ryan Weathers.
