D-Backs' Ketel Marte says he lost $400K in home burglary during All-Star Game
Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte said he lost $400,000 worth of items in a break-in at his Phoenix-area home during All-Star Game festivities. Marte went on the restricted list last Friday; Arizona reinstated him on Sunday, and he played against the Houston Astros on Monday. 'Everyone is clear that it's not a situation that we can feel good about. I'm losing about $400,000, and I think that's a lot,' Marte told reporters in Spanish after the Diamondbacks' 6-3 loss. Advertisement 'It was a bit of a tough situation, but we came back here to try not to think about those things that have happened. It doesn't feel good. Everyone knows what happened. And we're hoping that things are remedied.' Police last week said that no one was home at the time of the break-in and that there were signs of forced entry at the Paradise Valley, Ariz., house. Police said that numerous personal items and jewelry were missing. The Scottsdale Police Department did not immediately respond to a request for an update on the situation. The break-in is the latest in a string of burglaries targeting professional athletes, particularly when those athletes are away competing. Other recent burglaries include Mike Conley Jr., Karl-Anthony Towns, Luka Dončić and Bobby Portis in the NBA, Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Joe Burrow and Linval Joseph in the NFL and Tyler Seguin and Evgeni Malkin in the NHL. The Athletic's Maria Torres contributed reporting.

Prisoners' Phone Calls Will Soon Be Free in New York State
New York will make phone calls free for incarcerated people starting next month, lifting a financial burden for the loved ones of the state's more than 30,000 prisoners. It will join five other states and New York City, all of which have moved in recent years to adopt similar policies. But the change by New York State is not being accomplished legislatively; instead, it is a result of negotiations between the New York Department of Corrections and Community Supervision and its telecom provider. Beginning August 1, the department will pay the provider, Securus Technologies, 1.5 cents per minute for the calls, which the agency described as one of the lowest rates in the country, and spend $9 million on the initiative this year. Currently, the state's prisoners receive up to three free calls per week, each lasting up to 15 minutes. Calls beyond that cost 2.4 cents per minute plus service fees, which the state does not now cover. Daniel F. Martuscello III, the agency's commissioner, said phone calls created a safer environment in prisons and prepared incarcerated people for life on the outside. 'We have to provide them with services that return them to society as productive members, as mothers, fathers, husbands, wives,' he said. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Justice Department seeks meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell amid Epstein outrage
Facing sustained backlash over their handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, Justice Department officials said Tuesday that they hope to meet with his imprisoned associate Ghislaine Maxwell to discuss anyone else 'who has committed crimes against victims.' The announcement, from Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, is the latest effort by the administration to quell the growing outrage among some sectors of President Donald Trump's base after the Justice Department concluded this month that investigators had no additional evidence implicating 'any additional third parties to allegations of illegal wrongdoing.'
