| | | NY METS: NEW YORK (AP) - Five straight losing seasons. That's what the New York Mets have produced since moving into Citi Field.
David Wright, for one, is tired of it.
''We need to start going out there showing results,'' the star third baseman said. ''The last couple years we've kind of been hampered by some contracts and payroll issues. It seems like that's behind us. At the same time, we've got those prospects knocking at the door. I think we're in a better place now than we have been the past few years and quite frankly, I think we have a better team.''
Translation: No more waiting for next year. No more selling the future. No more excuses.
It's time to take a step forward - and that means winning.
General manager Sandy Alderson seems to think so, too. After he signed free agents Curtis Granderson, Bartolo Colon and Chris Young this offseason, a report emerged that Alderson told staffers he thinks the Mets can win 90 games (with a payroll under $90 million).
Even hard-core fans found that overly optimistic, especially with ace Matt Harvey expected to miss the entire season following Tommy John surgery. New York posted its second consecutive 74-88 record last year - and that was with Harvey on the mound most of the way.
But there is reason for hope, particularly in Triple-A. Touted young pitchers Noah Syndergaard and Rafael Montero could soon join a promising rotation that includes Colon, Zack Wheeler, Dillon Gee and Jonathon Niese.
''He's got all the traits of the good ones,'' manager Terry Collins said about Syndergaard. ''He's on track to be special.''
The offense could be better with the addition of Granderson, who got a $60 million, four-year deal after an injury-plagued season for the Yankees across town. His left-handed power bat should provide some much-needed protection for Wright.
The multitalented Young, on a one-year contract following a down season in Oakland, appears highly motivated to regain his All-Star form.
''It's been interesting to watch the whole team,'' Granderson said early in spring training. ''There's power here. Chris Young has been amazing.''
The lineup remains flawed and prone to strikeouts, though the roster has improved. Perhaps not enough to push Washington and Atlanta in the NL East just yet, but the Mets expect to take significant strides this season as they anticipate Harvey's return in 2015.
''When I re-signed here, I knew it wasn't an overnight fix. I think I like that part of the challenge of it,'' Wright said. ''I want to be part of the reason why we get this thing turned around and headed in the right direction and ultimately start winning again. I think we have that ability.''
| | ATLANTA: ATLANTA (AP) - For the Atlanta Braves, spring training turned into a matter of survival.
No wonder they're so eager to get the season going.
The defending NL East champions lost a big chunk of their starting rotation down in Florida: projected opening day starter Kris Medlen and fellow right-hander Brandon Beachy both underwent Tommy John surgery for the second time and are out for the season. Another starter, Mike Minor, will also begin the year on the disabled list as he recovers from a sore shoulder.
But the Braves are nothing if not resourceful. They quickly signed Ervin Santana to a $14.1 million, one-year contract and have every intention of getting back to the playoffs for the fourth time in the last five years.
''We still have a great team,'' closer Craig Kimbrel said. ''It's tough losing two top pitchers. But getting Santana was really big. I want to be closing out division titles and championships and World Series. I think we've still got the group to do it.''
The Braves will have a different look behind the plate after longtime catcher Brian McCann signed with the New York Yankees. But another title in a lackluster division is certainly a possibility, especially if second baseman Dan Uggla and center fielder B.J. Upton bounce back from dismal seasons in which both hit under .200. They showed signs of turning things around in spring training.
''Time will tell,'' general manager Frank Wren said, ''but we really like what we've seen so far.''

*Mets-Braves Preview* =====================
By NOEY KUPCHAN STATS Writer
New York (73-80) at Atlanta (76-76), 7:35 p.m. EDT
While the Atlanta Braves picked up a rare win last time out, it's likely too little, too late.
The Braves try to win two in a row for the first time in September on Friday night in the first of three against the visiting New York Mets.
Atlanta (76-76) scored only eight runs during a five-game losing streak before beating NL East champion Washington 3-1 on Wednesday despite being held to seven hits. Christian Bethancourt drove in two runs for the Braves, who are 4-11 this month and haven't won back-to-back games since Aug. 27-29.
They remain well behind Pittsburgh for the second wild-card spot with 10 to play and could be officially eliminated as early as this weekend.
"For us, every game is Game 7," manager Fredi Gonzalez said.
Chris Johnson is mired in a 6-for-42 slump and Justin Upton is batting .125 in September. Jason Heyward is 3 for his last 23 at home, but his status remains unclear after getting hit by a pitch on his left thumb.
"Thumbs (stink), I've dealt with it before," he told MLB's official website. "We'll see what happens. Once swelling is in there, it's tough to get it out."
The Braves now turn to Julio Teheran (13-12, 2.89 ERA), who is trying to avoid losing four consecutive starts for the first time in his career. The right-hander has posted a 2.70 ERA during his losing streak while receiving a combined two runs of support.
Teheran went the distance in Saturday's 3-2 loss at Texas, yielding three unearned runs and three hits.
"You're trying to control what you can control, and that's what I did," he said. "The whole game I felt pretty good."
Teheran threw 6 1-3 innings of one-run ball to win 3-2 at New York on Aug. 27, improving to 3-1 with a 2.60 ERA over six career starts in the series. Ruben Tejada is 1 for 14 in their matchups and Travis d'Arnaud is 1 for 7.
New York's Zack Wheeler (10-10, 3.61) had surrendered one or two earned runs in 12 of 13 starts before yielding six over four-plus innings in Saturday's 10-3 loss to Washington.
"Something was wrong with my mechanics, I couldn't figure it out," he said. "I came in here and looked at the video and still couldn't figure it out. It may have been just one of those days where my body wasn't together, fluent. But go get them next time."
The right-hander could bounce back on the road, where he's gone 4-0 with a 1.89 ERA over a nine-start stretch. After winning each of his three starts against Atlanta during his 2013 rookie season, Wheeler is 0-2 in four meetings this year despite a 3.70 ERA.
Upton is 0 for 18 in their matchups and Johnson is 2 for 17. However, Heyward and Freddie Freeman are a combined 14 for 32 with three homers and four doubles.
The Mets (73-80) are set to embark on a season-ending nine-game road trip after falling 4-3 to Miami in Wednesday's home finale. Lucas Duda had two hits and two RBIs for New York, which has dropped five of seven.
"We're going to go into Atlanta and grind it out and try to finish as strong as we can," manager Terry Collins said.
The Mets are 7-9 in the season series, including 2-4 at Turner Field.
