US EditionReds Pitcher Wade Miley Accused in Court Documents of Being Drug Supplier for the Late Tyler Skaggs
- Wade Miley, a Cincinnati Reds left-hander, faces accusations in legal filings of supplying drugs to Tyler Skaggs, the late Los Angeles Angels pitcher who passed away in 2019.
- The allegation is based on a 2013 discussion reported by Ryan Hamill, who previously represented Skaggs, during which Skaggs confessed to using drugs and identified Miley as the person supplying them.
- Skaggs died of an accidental overdose involving fentanyl and oxycodone in a Dallas-area team hotel, and Eric Kay, a former Angels publicist, was convicted and sentenced to 22 years for providing fentanyl-laced pills.
- Prosecutors presented a recording of Kay claiming Miley was one of Skaggs' drug suppliers, while MLB suspended pitcher Matt Harvey for 60 days for violating drug policy amid related testimonies.
- Wade Miley is not being prosecuted criminally, the Cincinnati Reds have chosen not to respond, and the matter is connected to a $210 million wrongful death lawsuit filed by Tyler Skaggs' family against the Los Angeles Angels.
