    The Audible: NWSL’s new player freedoms, a Rams trade, and Ohtani for MVP?
    Jim Alexander: Mirjam, I loved your Sunday piece on the National Women’s Soccer League, its new collective bargaining agreement, the question of how might this work in the other leagues that we know and love, and the conniptions that I’m sure will result once the heads of those older, more established leagues realize the revolutionary stuff that’s in there. No draft? Full, unfettered free agency? Completely guaranteed contracts? No trades without the player’s consent? Why

    Santa Margarita football smoothly rolls to win over Oaks Christian after turbulent week
    SANTA ANA — Even a lack of preparation couldn’t slow Santa Margarita down on Friday night.
    The Eagles barely practiced in advance of their nonleague football game against Oaks Christian on Friday night because of the Airport Fire that broke out Monday in the canyons and ridges just east of the school, but they rolled to a 37-17 victory at Santa Ana Stadium anyway.

    COVINA – The Charter Oak football team fought all the way back in the second half, but Yorba Linda got the ball last and was able to come away with a 29-28 victory with a game-winning two-point conversion with 11 seconds left.
    Yorba Linda was nearly out of it, but a clutch fourth-down pass for a first down to the Chargers’ 1 set up Cole Nerio’s third touchdown for the Mustangs, scoring with 11 seconds left to bring the Mustangs within a point, 28-27.

    ANAHEIM — At least the fans in Italy who got up in the middle of the night to watch Sam Aldegheri pitch could go back to sleep quickly.
    The Angels’ Italian left-hander was knocked out in the third inning of a 5-3 loss to the Houston Astros on Friday night.
    Aldegheri is the first major league pitcher born and raised in Italy, and his victory in his previous start raised hopes in his native country that he could have a legitimate big league career.

    ATLANTA — The Dodgers have stopped short of holding open auditions for their postseason starting rotation. But they must be praying that someone – anyone – steps forward in the final three weeks of the regular season to fill in the blanks in that rotation.
    Landon Knack had that opportunity Friday night at Truist Park. He stumbled instead.
    Knack gave up five runs in the first two innings, putting the Dodgers in a very familiar position – trying to dig out of a hole their s

    It took him a couple of weeks to learn the difference between minor league plate discipline and major league discipline, according to Manager Ron Washington.
    Kavadas started his career with a 3-for-38 (.079) slump that included 20 strikeouts. Over the past six games, though, he’s 9 for 20 (.450) with two home runs, four strikeouts and four walk

    A Lake Arrowhead estate on a private peninsula with over 675 feet of shoreline and a double-boat dock is on the market for $15.5 million.
    That makes it the priciest listing in Lake Arrowhead. If the house gets its asking price, it will break the current local record set by a waterfront estate designed by Walt Disney animator and Oscar-winning “Dear Basketball” director Glen Keane that sold April 8 for $11.5 million.

    It was. But not in a positive way.
    Glasnow was scheduled to face hitters in a simulated game setting at Truist Park, possibly the final step before coming off the injured list and rejoining the Dodgers’ starting rotation next week (in time to make three starts before the end of the regular season).
