20+ min ago (383+ words) Tim Harkness, who made his mark in New York Mets history with a dramatic home run and a place in Shea Stadium lore, died Monday at 87. Bob Elliott of the Canadian Baseball Network reported the death of Harkness, a native of Lachine, Quebec, who became one of the first Canadian-born players in the major leagues when he signed with the Philadelphia Phillies in 1956. Harkness carved out his most memorable moment in a Mets uniform on June 26, 1963. Trailing the Chicago Cubs 6-4 in the 14th inning, he launched a walk-off grand slam that gave the struggling franchise one of its few bright moments in those early years. He finished that season with 10 home runs across 123 games, his best performance in the majors. A year later, Harkness earned another footnote in team history by becoming the first home player to bat and record a…...

1+ hour, 5+ min ago (860+ words) Wilbon, Kornheiser: The Tigers have to listen to trade offers for Tarik Skubal (2:36) Major League Baseball's winter meetings begin next week, and, although we have seen some action already, relatively little has been resolved so far this offseason. "What I'm hearing when I talk to teams is pitching, pitching, pitching," one agent said. "Everybody is looking for pitching." With all that in mind, here are the most glaring needs for some of baseball's contending teams. Philly's everyday lineup has winter potholes. There has been a broad assumption around the industry that Schwarber will return to the Phillies because, well, they can't afford to let him go. To not sign him would be unthinkable, given what he provided in stability (he played in 162 games), power (56 homers and 264 times on base via hit, walk or HBP) and clubhouse presence. But he's not…...

4+ hour, 23+ min ago (782+ words) Chicago Bulls vs. Orlando Magic: Game Highlights (1:28) Despite averaging 13.9 points per game and shooting 29% from 3-point range over the season's first eight games with the Orlando Magic -- well below his career mark of 41% -- Desmond Bane wasn't worried. Presumably, Bane didn't see a presentation by former ESPN analyst Ben Alamar and ESPN's Dean Oliver at the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference in March. Had Bane known what their research found, it would have validated his confidence that things would turn around. Using NBA data derived from camera tracking covering all shots off passes from 2016 through 2024, Alamar and Oliver discovered that experience together had a far greater impact than believed by conventional wisdom. That helps explain why Bane and several of last summer's most important players to change teams, including Cam Johnson of the Denver Nuggets and Myles Turner of the Milwaukee…...

5+ hour, 26+ min ago (310+ words) Pete Alonso is expected to generate much more interest on the free-agent market this winter than he did a year ago, and there is one team that has repeatedly been mentioned as a potential suitor for the slugger should he leave the New York Mets. Jim Bowden of The Athletic published a column on Wednesday that ranks the top 10 MLB free agents who are represented by super-agent Scott Boras. Alonso, not surprisingly, occupies the top spot.
