Plenty of news on tap after taking a week off for July 4th. In particular, Bay FC’s coach Albertin Montoya was cleared of violating the league’s anti-harassment policies, Mia Fishel signed a record contract with Seattle Reign, and legend Tobin Heath officially retired. We also discuss Boston’s first signings, the current free agency weirdness, and the 2026 schedule footprint.
