| |  | 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.''
| | ARIZONA: PHOENIX (AP) - The season had not even started when the Arizona Diamondbacks took a loss.
A day before boarding the plane for their season opener in Australia, the Diamondbacks learned scheduled opening-day starter Patrick Corbin had a partially torn ligament in his pitching elbow and might need season-ending surgery.
Arizona went 21-8 in the young left-hander's starts last season, more than a quarter of the victories for a team that went 81-81 for the second year in a row. The Los Angeles Dodgers celebrated their NL West title by splashing around in Arizona's Chase Field swimming pool.
Arizona retooled during the offseason by adding power (Mark Trumbo), a veteran starter (Bronson Arroyo) and a young closer (Addison Reed). Even with the loss of Corbin, the Diamondbacks feel they have the components to contend for at least a wild-card berth.
''They really want it,'' catcher Miguel Montero said. ''They're hungry for something, and that's a good feeling. I think last year we were a little bit more laid back. This year the guys are hungry, and that's a good thing.''
Trumbo noticed a positive attitude right from the start of spring training.
''That's the personality of the guys here and that plays really well for the course of a long season,'' he said. ''You've got to have guys that play the game right way, but play it with a little bit of a chip on their shoulder and bring it every day.''

*Mets-Diamondbacks Preview* ===========================
By JEFF MEZYDLO STATS Senior Writer
New York (6-7) at Arizona (4-12), 3:40 p.m. EDT
The New York Mets are the latest team to find success against the struggling starting rotation of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Looking to add to Brandon McCarthy's early troubles, the Mets can record their first series sweep at Chase Field in eight years by handing the Diamondbacks a sixth consecutive defeat Wednesday.
After opening the series with a 7-3 victory, New York (7-7) scored all its runs over 3 1-3 innings off starter Bronson Arroyo in Tuesday's 9-0 win. The Mets, who haven't swept a set at Chase Field since taking all four June 8-11, 2006, have outscored the Diamondbacks 29-9 during a four-game road winning streak at Arizona.
"Hopefully we can keep it going," said Mets outfielder Kirk Nieuwenhuis, who went 3 for 5 with a two-run homer and three RBIs in his season debut after being called up to replace injured center fielder Juan Lagares.
Nieuwenhuis is 7 for 14 in his last four games against the Diamondbacks (4-13).
While Arizona was shut out for the third time this season and second in five days, its major league-worst starters' ERA rose to 7.82.
"Last year, it was the bullpen giving it up and this year it's just the inverse," Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said. "That part is very frustrating."
If Arizona is to avoid its first six-game skid since Aug. 24-29, 2012, it needs McCarthy (0-2, 7.78 ERA) to fare better than he has in his first three outings. The right-hander allowed six runs for the second straight start Friday, pitching into the eighth inning of a 6-0 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
"I haven't really felt like I have thrown terribly this season," he said. "It has just been a few pitches in there that have gone wrong and they happen to really hurt me. Whether it is a combination of bad luck and bad pitches, it is really getting old."
In his only previous start versus New York, McCarthy gave up two runs in seven innings of a 4-1 home loss last season.
Trying to move above .500 for the first time since they were 10-9 on April 24, the Mets hand the ball to Dillon Gee (0-0, 5.03).
Making his fourth start, Gee hopes to bounce back after he allowed four runs, two homers and four walks over 5 2-3 innings of a 5-4, 11-inning road defeat to the Los Angeles Angels on Friday. The right-hander, who has yielded five home runs this season, only walked three over his previous two starts - leaving manager Terry Collins concerned with his control.
"That's very uncharacteristic," Collins told the Mets' official website.
Gee is 1-1 with a 3.75 ERA in four starts against the Diamondbacks.
It's uncertain if New York's Curtis Granderson will miss a second straight game after he injured his left forearm and ribs colliding with the outfield wall Monday. He's batting .170 with a homer, four RBIs and 16 strikeouts.
Mark Trumbo is 0 for 7 in the series and batting .209 in the first 17 games of his Arizona tenure.
