Juan Soto's up in the #HRDerby.

There are prospects and there are potential franchise cornerstones.

Diego Cartaya is a potential franchise cornerstone.

But if the @Dodgers have to trade him to acquire Juan Soto, they should, writes @dylanohernandez: latimes.com/sports/dodgers…

The @Nationals tried signing Juan Soto to an extension, but it hasn’t worked. Now he’s available.

The @Angels should do the same with Shohei #Ohtani. Try to sign him long-term now. If they can’t agree, explore the trade market. From @jorgecastillo latimes.com/sports/story/2…
We're on to the #HRDerby final round, and it will be a new champion!

Washington @Nationals star @JuanSoto25_ becomes the youngest champion in #HRDerby history.

Baltimore's Steve Stone "found the better pitcher" inside him. J.R. Richard was a physically imposing presence who fired fastballs over 100 miles per hour.

They were the 1980 All-Star Game starting pitchers. By the end of 1981, their careers were over. latimes.com/sports/dodgers…
.@mookiebetts is wearing a T-shirt that says “we need more black people at the stadium.” He said someone from the Dodgers' TV crew found it, ordered it -- and it arrived today.
"This is the right stage to get the message out."
Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber was one of those players who thought Juan Soto’s cockiness, accentuated by his hallmark Soto Shuffle in the batter’s box, was annoying.

“I was like, 'Man, screw this guy,’” Schwarber said.

Then they became teammates. latimes.com/sports/story/2…
Shohei #Ohtani didn’t say he wanted to be traded before the Aug. 2 deadline. But in talking to media Monday, he didn’t say he wanted to stay, either. latimes.com/sports/angels/…

Joe Davis isn't just the voice of the @Dodgers.

He will call his first-ever All-Star Game tonight.

Come October, he’ll become the first person other than Joe Buck since 1999 to do lead play-by-play at the World Series.

He is the new voice of baseball. latimes.com/sports/dodgers…

Before the #AllStarGame, @mookiebetts donned a T-shirt that says “We need more black people at the stadium.” He said it arrived today.
“I used to kind of shy away from it,” Betts said when asked about the statement shirt he wore. But he credits his growth for using his voice to make a difference.

“It’s what I signed up for.”

The vegan food company Daily Harvest on Tuesday identified tara flour as the ingredient that has sickened hundreds of its customers, including some who were hospitalized after suffering stabbing abdominal pain and acute liver failure.

latimes.com/california/sto…
The direct-to-consumer company, which counts Serena Williams and Gwyneth Paltrow among its investors, used the flour in a product for the “first and only time” this year, Chief Executive Rachel Drori said Tuesday.

latimes.com/california/sto…
Made from the seed of a tree that’s native to Peru, tara flour is high in protein and fiber and is sometimes used as a thickening agent in vegan recipes.

Abby C. burst into tears when she learned that a leaked draft opinion signaled the U.S. Supreme Court would likely overturn Roe vs. Wade.

Before getting out of bed, the 23-year-old booked a consultation to begin the process of getting sterilized. latimes.com/world-nation/s…
Abby, who did not use her last name for privacy reasons, said her previous gynecologist had dismissed her requests, citing her age.

But with the leaked opinion throwing the future of reproductive rights into jeopardy, Abby stood firm in her decision. latimes.com/world-nation/s…
“I ended up telling her, this is the option I want,” Abby said. “This is the only answer for me.”

It wasn’t until after she woke up from the procedure — a bilateral salpingectomy, in which her fallopian tubes were removed — that she felt relief. latimes.com/world-nation/s…

@Dodgers scout Mike Brito, who signed Fernando Valenzuela and helped secure Yasiel Puig and Julio Urías, died July 7.

These Korean barbecue restaurant workers said that they were not paid for all the hours they put in, were not given all the tips they earned and were not permitted to take rest breaks.

So they decided to unionize.

latimes.com/california/sto…
Last year Genwa became the first Korean barbecue restaurant in the country to unionize. Since then, they have signed a contract that included minimum pay of at least $20 an hour and reimbursement for healthcare costs, as well as seniority rights.

latimes.com/california/sto… Image
Labor experts and Asian American community leaders say Genwa can serve as a model for organizing immigrant workers, who may be unaware of their rights, afraid to speak up or hampered by language and cultural barriers.
