Dave Roberts has had dozens, if not hundreds of conversations like the one he had with Jason Heyward on Wednesday night, when the Dodgers manager has to inform a player there is no longer room on the roster and he’s being designated for assignment. But this one cut much deeper because it was with one of the most respected and well-liked players on the team, the best friend of first baseman Freddie Freeman and the winner of the 2023 Roy Campanella Award, which is given annually to the Dodgers player who best exemplifies the spirit and leadership of the Hall-of-Fame catcher. “It was very challenging, probably one of the tougher things I’ve had to do,” Roberts said before Friday night’s series opener against the Tampa Bay Rays. “What Jason did for the Dodgers in a year and a half was pretty remarkable, on the field, in the clubhouse, in the community, and his fingerprint will be everlasting. “It was a very difficult decision, but we had a roster crunch. Guys finally came back to health, and we only have so much room.” The decision was

The driver of a sport utility vehicle authorities say was carrying more than 80 pounds of cocaine may have gotten away with it if it weren’t for that meddling dog. Around 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, the SUV was traveling on the 15 Freeway through Temecula when it was stopped by agents with the San Diego sector of U.S. Customs and Border Protection. During a subsequent sniff test of the vehicle, a dog alerted agents of the possible presence of drugs. Authorities said a follow-up search uncovered a series of cellophane-wrapped packages stashed inside a false dashboard. Agents arrested the driver and an accompanying passenger, and impounded the SUV for further inspection. In all, authorities said they found 31 bundles in the false dashboard, containing a total of 81 pounds of cocaine. San Diego sector Border Patrol agents have seized 2,437 pounds of cocaine since the beginning of the fiscal year, according to the department. The sector has also seized 3,627 pounds of methamphetamine, 31 pounds of heroin and 475 pounds of fentanyl. That includes 3.65 combined pounds of fentanyl and heroin found from Aug. 11 to

A family is fighting to stop the possible release of a Riverside man who was sentenced to prison for molesting and kidnapping a 5-year-old girl. Charles William Mix, 69, was sentenced to 350 years in prison for the 2003 kidnapping. The victim, who is now 27 years old, still isn’t ready to speak on the incident, but her sister, Claira Stansbury, said the events changed her family’s life forever. “She has to deal with this for the rest of her life and she has to learn to cope with what happened to her for the rest of her life,” Stansbury said.

The next day, the pair was located hundreds of miles away in Richfield, Utah after a passerby reported seeing him and the girl. Mix had transported the girl across state lines in a stolen vehicle.

A Los Angeles County jail in Castaic in 2015. (Al Seib / Los Angeles Times) A Los Angeles County jail inmate in Castaic this month was grazed by a bullet from a nearby shooting range used by the FBI, law enforcement officials said Friday. The incident happened Aug. 9, when the inmate — who has not been identified — was on a porch outside the inmate housing barracks at Pitchess Detention Center South Facility, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. The inmate reported the incident to jail staff, who discovered that several vehicles had also been struck by bullets. It’s not clear how seriously the inmate was hurt, but officials said an “injury report was completed.” The county’s northern-most jail complex has long housed outdoor shooting ranges, including one typically used by the FBI, which Sheriff’s Department investigators identified as the source of the errant bullet. After the incident, the department closed the range, although an official said other ranges at the Castaic facility are still in use. Last year, the Sheriff’s Department also shut down its network of mobile range trailers after

“The Dudleys never say die” — and neither do the fans of “My Lady Jane.” Fans of the Prime Video series have rallied behind an online campaign petitioning to save the historical dramedy from cancellation. Prime Video announced on Aug. 16 that it would not renew “My Lady Jane” for a second season after the show failed to attract a wide audience or make Nielsen’s Top 10 weekly streaming rankings for originals, according to Deadline. Representatives for Amazon Studios didn’t reply immediately Friday to The Times’ request for comment. After the announcement, fans of the show expressed their disappointment on social media. “I’m so upset about this. Jane and Guildford deserved their s2. The cast deserved their s2. We had a tv show that had everything : comedy, romance, period drama, a talented cast. And it has its audience, they just don’t want to renew quality things.. #SaveMyLadyJane #MyLadyJane,” a fan wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “I say this with a broken heart but #myladyjane you have been one of the best hyperfixations, i ever had and its so f— aggravating and horrendous that those

Judge Greg Mathis and his wife, Linda Yvette Mathis, are parting ways after almost four decades together. Linda Mathis filed for divorce from the “Judge Mathis” star Thursday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split, according to court documents reviewed by The Times. In the filing, she listed their date of separation as July 17 and noted that they have no minor children. She also applied for spousal support while asking that the court waive her husband’s right to request support from her. It is unclear whether the couple had a prenuptial agreement in place. She also requested that Greg Mathis cover her legal fees. Representatives for both parties did not reply immediately Friday to The Times’ request for comment. The college sweethearts wed in 1985, more than a decade before the premiere of “Judge Mathis,” which ran for 24 seasons from Sept. 13, 1999, to May 25, 2023. The arbitration-based reality court show was recognized in 2004 with the NAACP Image Award for outstanding news, talk or information series, and in 2018 scored a Daytime Emmy

Throughout his nearly four years in office, President Biden regularly consulted historians to measure his accomplishments against history, and did so again before stepping out of the presidential race. History will recognize among his many achievements his sweeping economic vision and legislative expertise, which quickly moved the country out of a pandemic recession, reduced wage inequality and created the longest period of full employment in more than 50 years. Biden also brought about the most significant pro-worker policies in decades . He revitalized agencies that have aggressively moved to clean our air and water of deadly contaminants like toxic “forever” chemicals . And with the narrowest margins in Congress, he secured the votes to enact the first major law to combat climate change in U.S. history, which has created 330,000 good, safe clean-energy jobs so far. Although Biden seems keenly attuned to his legacy, his foreign policy — like that of Lyndon B. Johnson before him — could forever haunt his record in history books and stain his standing among generations of Americans. Like America’s wars in Indochina, the bloody, nearly yearlong assault on Gaza

Orange County Supervisor Andrew Do is facing increasing pressure to resign amid a looming federal probe involving his daughter, a local nonprofit and more than $10 million in unaccounted taxpayer money. Do is in the last year of his second and last term as county supervisor, but calls for him to resign have increased after federal agents raided his and his daughter’s home Thursday, with the scandal now the subject of a federal criminal investigation. Among those asking him to step down is a former boss and mentor vying to take his seat at the end of his term. A fellow supervisor also urged Do to “consider” stepping down. “Orange County taxpayers have every right to be livid and demand justice,” said state Sen. Janet Nguyen, who represents the 36th District and is running for Do’s seat. “I call upon Andrew Do to immediately resign as Supervisor for the First District.” Do worked as Nguyen’s chief of staff when she was elected to the board in 2007. The two had a falling out in 2016, during Do’s campaign for the county seat. Vicente Sarmiento, who
