PHILADELPHIA -- Terry Collins confirmed an innings limit will prevent Matt Harvey from pitching through the end of the season.
Collins did not articulate a precise innings number, but GM Sandy Alderson previously had predicted a shutdown in the 165- to 170-inning range. A team source indicated 175 may be the max.
Harvey is at 146 innings entering Wednesday night's start against the Philadelphia Phillies. That potentially leaves no more than 29 more innings, including tonight -- or perhaps three additional starts beyond the game at Citizens Bank Park.

Trying to show restraint, but this one is on #Mets postgame notes: Three NL starters are 0-5: Shaun Marcum, Jeremy Hefner and Josh Beckett.

I'll just note Scott Boras is his agent. And he's very good.//RT @whyyounolikeeme: How much you think Choo commands this off-season? 5-$60M?

Mets will go to final inning trailing by a run. Good news: Aroldis Chapman has blown 2 straight saves. #Reds 4, #Mets 3, end 8.

So I can see the Mets actually spending in free agency, including for a Choo type, and still have payroll go down.

There will be arbitration raises. Really rough estimate: Mets would probably need to spend ~$50M in FA to have same $95M payroll in '14

$16 million of Jason Bay's $21M is technically deferred to 2014/15, before someone starts barking I mischaracterized it.

That said, I wouldn't hold by breath. But Santana ($31M), Bay ($21M), Francisco ($6.5M), Buck ($6M), Marcum ($4M) all expiring.

Believe Mets record for most winless starts to begin a Mets career is untouchable: Bob Miller did not record a win in 20 starts in 1962.
