Los Angeles Angels pitcher Tyler Skaggs died from an overdose in July 2019. A recent report has emerged in his civil case, revealing that Skaggs received prescription drugs from Cincinnati Reds pitcher Wade Miley. Skaggs’s former agent testified that the pitcher would sometimes provide him with Percocets, a powerful opioid painkiller.
The connection between Miley and Skaggs was first mentioned in a separate criminal case against Eric Kay. In a recorded prison phone call, Kay stated that Miley had been a source of prescription drugs for Skaggs. The Reds signed Miley to a minor league deal after he opted out of his initial contract, but has since appeared in two games for Cincinnati this season.
It’s worth noting that Miley has not commented on the allegations. The full story can be read here, and fans can stay up-to-date with the latest news from Cincinnati Reds Talk.
