Might @warriors owner Joe Lacob bid for the @Angels?

“Can’t answer this question that fast,” Lacob told The Times on Tuesday. “We look at good opportunities.”

He added a smile emoji.

Who might buy the team? How fast could it happen?

Just as quickly as Arte Moreno became one of the best owners in baseball, he became one of the worst. Good riddance, writes @GustavoArellano. latimes.com/california/sto…
"This is happy news," echoed @Angels Hall of Famer Rod Carew on Twitter. He spoke to @MikeDiGiovanna about possibly repairing his relationship with the organization.

The #Angels need a dynamic and deep-pocketed owner (more likely owners) who will provide the vision and resources for a revival. And then get out of the way.

But who fits that description? From @helenenothelen:

Before departing Japan for MLB, Shohei Ohtani said he wanted to be the No. 1 player in the world. A championship is a requirement.

With an ownership change, there’s now a possibility he can do that with the Angels, writes @dylanohernandez latimes.com/sports/angels/…
The @Angels shelled out $1 billion+ to free agents over the last 12 years, including:/

Anthony Rendon $245M

Albert Pujols $240M

Josh Hamilton $125M

Nearly $500M to Mike Trout

And have zero playoff victories to show for it. latimes.com/sports/angels/…

After hiking a few hours steadily uphill, the trio stopped to put crampons on their boots near Helen Lake.

That’s where mountain guide Jillian Webster pulled out the nylon climbing rope and helped her clients attach it to harnesses around their waists. latimes.com/california/sto…
Roping up is one of the most “controversial and contentious” acts in climbing, according to Pete Takeda, a climber and author who collects and edits accident reports for the American Alpine Club. latimes.com/california/sto… If Takeda weren’t absolutel...
Jillian Webster’s older brother Jordan, himself an experienced climber, wonders if his sister would still be alive if they hadn’t roped up. latimes.com/california/sto…

Columnist @GustavoArellano:
"I’m all for cutting back on emissions. They exacerbate climate change, poison our environment and disproportionately affect minority communities, like the one I grew up in, right next to the 91 Freeway."

"I appreciate California thinking big and its willingness to lead on important issues while other states look on. Coming into the [L.A.] Basin on a sunny morning and seeing a tarry gray cloud over it is a grim reminder of what we’ve done to ourselves." latimes.com/california/sto…

The refusal to do anything close to the bare minimum has made @iamdoechii one of 2022’s most buzzed-about artists.

She can elevate a track with delightfully simple melodies and deliver bars that land like a boxer’s blows. latimes.com/entertainment-…
Doechii grew up in Tampa, Fla., with her mother and two sisters. Inside the house, the energy was off the walls — her twin Aries sisters were lovably “obnoxious” but equally as creative.

Outside the family unit, Doechii kept her personality under wraps. latimes.com/entertainment-… Image
She recalls her first performance at a Tampa hookah lounge, where she showed up to learn she hadn’t been booked for her artistry but for her follower count: “[I] realized they basically used me to promote the show. They didn’t even want me to perform.” latimes.com/entertainment-… Image

A mountain lion — possibly the celebrity cat known as P-22 — was spotted roaming through the Hollywood Hills, climbing and jumping off fences Wednesday night and Thursday morning, according to video footage captured by residents.

The big cat ambled across the street in front of a doorbell camera in Beachwood Canyon around 4:40 a.m. Thursday, resident Arielle Lafuente said. The mountain lion then passed by her house again after the sun came up, around 6:30.

Officials could not immediately confirm the identity of the golden feline, but a National Parks Service spokeswoman said it was most likely P-22, whose home territory is Griffith Park.

The FBI believed that additional classified documents would be found in a search of former President Trump’s home at Mar-a-Lago, according to a heavily redacted affidavit made public Friday.

latimes.com/politics/story…
The FBI also noted in the more than 30-page document that “there is also probable cause to believe that evidence of obstruction will be found.”

latimes.com/politics/story…
Federal Magistrate Judge Bruce E. Reinhart ordered the affidavit be publicly released with the Justice Department’s proposed redactions of anything that would identify people involved in the investigation, including witnesses cooperating with the FBI.

Britney Spears teamed up with Elton John for "Hold Me Closer," which serves as a kind of coming-out party following the recent legal victory that freed her from the onerous conservatorship that ruled her life and work for nearly 14 years. latimes.com/entertainment-…
The song is her first new music since her 2016 album "Glory."

For John, a proudly admitted trend-watcher, “Hold Me Closer” registers as the latest sign of his pop savvy. latimes.com/entertainment-…
