3/25/15 Headlines: Wheeler, Forbes article, Mets vs. Yankees

Today the Mets will continue their Grapefruit League schedule against the New York Yankees. Regulars in today's starting lineup include Lucas Duda, Travis d'artaud, and Juan Lagares. 
Rafael Montero will get the nod to start today's game which can be seen on the YES Network. Montero is all but certain to pitch in New York's bullpen now that Dillon Gee has moved in the starting rotation, taking Zack Wheeler's place.

Speaking of Zack, he had successful Tommy John surgery earlier today, expecting to miss all of 2015 and not return until 14 months later, June 2016. Wheeler had been complaining of pain in his elbow dating back to last year, but doesn't think the Mets handled the situation poorly. Good luck, Zack. 

A recent article from Forbes lists the Mets as the seventh most valuable franchise in all of Major League Baseball, behind Yankees, Dodgers, Red Sox, Giants, Cubs, and Cardinals. Some nice company to be in, now lets just win like those teams! 

Forbes values the Mets at $1.35 billion.
