Court Docs: Miley Linked to Skaggs Drug Allegations

Court documents in the wrongful death lawsuit filed by Tyler Skaggs's family against the Los Angeles Angels allege that Cincinnati Reds pitcher Wade Miley provided Skaggs with prescription drugs when they were teammates on the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2012 and 2013. Skaggs's former agent, Ryan Hamill, testified that Skaggs admitted to obtaining Percocets from Miley, and this claim also appeared during the criminal case against Eric Kay, the former Angels communications director. Kay is currently serving a 22-year prison sentence for his role in Skaggs's death. Miley, who has not been charged with any crime or formally accused of wrongdoing, declined to comment. The Skaggs family seeks $210 million in damages in the civil suit. The documents detailing these allegations were reportedly posted online accidentally.
