New York Mets ace Matt Harvey isn't afraid of making headlines or being seen, and Tuesday, Dec. 2, he met the media in anticipation of his return season to the mound. Harvey, who missed all of 2014 after undergoing Tommy John surgery after bursting onto the scene as one of baseball's best pitchers in 2013, hinted vaguely at a playoff prediction for his normally moribund Mets.

He started the 2013 All-Star Game and posted a 2.27 ERA in 26 starts. Read More »
