Prior to losing a fourth straight game Tuesday against the Nationals, Mets manager Terry Collins stressed Zack Wheeler's impending promotion to the majors isn't going to solve all the team's problems.
"I hope that everybody understands, if and when [Wheeler] comes, he’s not going to be the savior," Collins said, per the New York Post. "There’s a lot of pieces that have to work. One guy is not going to turn this around for us. He’s got great stuff, but there’s been so much made of this poor kid that he hasn’t pitched a game in the big leagues yet, and it looks like he’s going to be in the finals for the Cy Young. He’s not even here. We’ve got to let him get up here and pitch a little bit."
