Mets prospect Tim Tebow reportedly out for season with pinkie cut - SNY.tv

On July 24, the Mets lost a 7-2 ballgame to the Padres, dropping their record to 46-55, 13.0 games out of first place. With the trade deadline a week away, it seemed like the Mets were in a prime position to be sellers, writing off the rest of the season and recouping prospects for their prized pitchers.

Instead, the tides changed quickly.

Since that day, the Mets have won 13 out of 14, finding themselves just a half-game back of the second Wild Card spot.They also picked up Marcus Stroman at the deadline, and have since acquired reliever Brad Brach and infielder Joe Panik.

During this recent hot streak, questions have arisen about whether or not the Mets have truly turned things around, or if they've just taken advantage of bad teams. That question could be answered loud and clear starting on Friday night, as the Mets begin a weekend set with the Nationals, who currently own a two-game lead on the first Wild Card position.
