- Mike Morin testified he and Tyler Skaggs secretly obtained and used oxycodone pills from team staffer Eric Kay, saying distribution was discreet and that he believed Skaggs was responsible for his own actions.
- Morin described pressures to stay on a major-league roster as a factor in his illicit use, said he thought pills were pharmacy-grade, and stated he did not expect the team to know about the conduct.
- Carli Skaggs told jurors she did not know her husband was using opioids, acknowledged they had used marijuana and that he once took ecstasy, and said she wants the club held accountable for its actions and inactions.
- Debbie Hetman testified she knew her son struggled with Percocet in 2013, said the Angels never asked about it, and noted she informed his agents and surgeon about the issue but did not notify team officials herself.
- A dispute over HR executive Deborah Johnston’s testimony remains unresolved after MLB contradicted her claim that the league was notified about Kay’s drug use, as the family seeks $118 million and Kay serves a 22-year sentence.
