| | | 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 TAYLOR BECHTOLD STATS Writer
New York (74-80) at Atlanta (76-77), 1:35 p.m. EDT
Another offensive slump has been too much to overcome, leaving the Atlanta Braves on the verge of being eliminated from postseason contention for the first time since 2011.
They aren't likely to catch a break at the plate in a matchup with the New York Mets' rookie of the year candidate.
The free-falling Braves will try to avoid their 11th loss in 13 games Sunday, while Jacob deGrom looks to lead the Mets to their first sweep at Atlanta in seven years.
Atlanta (76-78) ranks near the bottom of the majors with 3.6 runs per game and a .242 batting average, but the club has been even worse during its current 5-14 stretch, averaging 2.1 runs while hitting .216.
Emilio Bonifacio led the Braves with two hits Saturday after going 3 for 30 in his previous 14 games, while Freddie Freeman drove in the only runs with an eighth-inning single in a 4-2 defeat.
"It's the same story, different day," Freeman said. "It's hard to win ballgames when you only score two runs."
The Braves will be eliminated from the NL wild-card chase with any combination of two Pittsburgh wins or Atlanta losses. They'll face another tough challenge as they try to avoid getting swept at home by the Mets for the first time since Aug. 31-Sept. 2, 2007.
DeGrom (8-6, 2.68 ERA) is a serious contender for top NL rookie honors after going 7-1 with a 1.81 ERA over his last 11 starts. Only Tampa Bay's Alex Cobb (1.61) and the Los Angeles Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw (1.75) have better ERAs since July 8.
After allowing no earned runs in three consecutive starts, the right-hander didn't get a decision Monday when he gave up three runs over seven innings in a 6-5 loss to Miami.
DeGrom, however, tied a major league record set by Houston's Jim Deshaies in 1986 by striking out the first eight batters he faced. He went on to finish with a career-high 13 strikeouts while walking only one.
"Once I get two strikes on a guy - it's 1-2 or 0-2 - I'm trying to strike them out," deGrom told MLB's official website.
Six days after he allowed three runs over five innings in a 3-1 loss at Atlanta, the 26-year-old struck out 11 Braves over seven shutout innings in an 8-3 victory at Citi Field on July 8.
Chris Johnson (3 for 5), B.J. Upton (3 for 5) and Jason Heyward (3 for 6) have had success against deGrom. Heyward hopes to return to the lineup after missing two games with a bruised left thumb.
Ervin Santana (14-9, 3.74) may not have room for error as he looks to bounce back from back-to-back defeats. He allowed two runs and three hits over six innings Monday, but received nothing from the offense in a 4-2 loss to Washington. The right-hander had been 7-0 with a 2.91 ERA in his previous eight starts at Turner Field.
Now Santana makes his fourth start versus New York this season after going 2-1 with a 2.05 ERA over the first three. In his only home meeting, he surrendered three hits over eight shutout innings in a 4-3 win April 9.
Daniel Murphy has gone 4 for 9 against him in 2014, but Curtis Granderson is 1 for 9. Granderson, who hit his 19th home run Saturday, has gone 7 for 18 with three homers in his last four games in Atlanta.
