Are you hoping that MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred will demand that the Wilpons start spending more money on players? Well, don't get your hopes up.
Terry Collins expects the Mets to be a playoff team, but he's letting his players know that they should be doing their talking on the field.
The four-time All-Star won AL Cy Young Awards with Minnesota in 2004 and 2006. He pitched the only no-hitter in Mets history and is 139-78 lifetime with a 3.20 ERA.
The 29-year-old agreed last month to an $8 million, one-year contract. He is eligible for free agency after the World Series.
It wasn't that Noah Syndergaard had a bad year in 2014. It's just that he expected to be wearing a big-league uniform with "Mets" emblazoned across the front at some point last year. That never happened.
"To be in the big leagues has been my dream ever since I was a little kid ... I use it as a little extra motivation, because I don't want to hear that phone call again."
"It's just a little sore, it's really a non-issue," the slugger said Tuesday, when Mets position players were due to report to spring training.
Every player strives for consistency and not many achieve it, be it month to month or year to year. But Granderson is shooting for it again this year.

The Mets' pitching staff is loaded, so who will get the ball on opening day when the Amazin's take on the division-rival Nationals on April 6?
This is a guy who went to the postseason six times in nine years with the Twins, and he strongly believes that the Mets are built for the postseason -- if they can get there.
He didn't limit the session to fastballs. The 25-year-old threw some secondary stuff, and tossed a devastating curveball that manager Terry Collins called "stinkin' dynamite."
The "thing" is presumably the NL East, which the Mets haven't won since their last trip to the postseason in 2006.
For all of the statistical analysis used in baseball today, David Wright sees things very simply: "There's no question in my mind, if I do what I'm capable of doing, we're a better offense."
Manager Terry Collins had some rather interesting things to say about his team, his players and his expectations for 2015 over the last couple of days. So let's take a listen back.
Matt Harvey? Present -- and definitely accounted for. The feistiness is still there. And that's probably a very good sign.
``We've been sitting around for four years asking everybody to be patient and even the players,'' Collins said Saturday after the first workout for pitchers and catchers.
While the Mets plan to closely monitor Matt Harvey's innings, Sandy Alderson says his ace right-hander could throw 200 — including the postseason — in his first year back from elbow surgery.
The pitch clock won't get a call-up in 2015, but Major League Baseball is taking small steps to shorten games.
The Mets are getting better with each passing year, and with most of their key players healthy they figure to have a decent shot at a playoff spot in 2015. But they are certainly not without their question marks.
There's a different vibe this year in Port St. Lucie. Some are already picking New York as their dark horse in the NL East. Why? It's all about that ace.
"I want to be there at the end of the game," Bobby Parnell said on Wednesday, according to NJ.com. "That's my goal and that's what I'm aiming for."
