The New York Mets need to continue to add starting pitching this winter and a reunion with starter Sean Manaea makes a lot of sense.

However, in the midst of Tennessee's rough defeat, the team did get a rather interesting breakout ... the 23-year-old had amassed a grand total of six receptions before Sunday's game.

He followed up a career-high 57 points with at least one in six of his opening seven games ... the 23-year-old, too. Everything had collided to create the opening act of a breakout season.
