Overview

  • Court filings in Tyler Skaggs’s 2019 wrongful death lawsuit have named Cincinnati Reds pitcher Wade Miley as a potential supplier of prescription drugs.
  • In a deposition, Skaggs’s former agent Ryan Hamill testified that Skaggs said he received Percocet from Miley during the 2013 season.
  • A recorded prison call from ex-Angels communications director Eric Kay has him telling his mother that Miley supplied drugs to Skaggs.
  • The Angels have filed a summary judgment motion arguing that Skaggs’s history of obtaining drugs from multiple sources shields the team from liability.
  • Clerical errors made over 1,000 pages of confidential court documents public; Miley has not been charged with any crime related to the allegations.
