US EditionReds Pitcher Wade Miley Accused in Court Documents of Being Drug Supplier for the Late Tyler Skaggs
- Court documents dated June 13, 2025, accuse Cincinnati Reds pitcher Wade Miley of supplying drugs to the late Angels pitcher Tyler Skaggs, who died in 2019.
- These claims stem from a wrongful death case brought by Skaggs' relatives against the Angels and include testimony from Eric Kay’s trial, in which Kay was found guilty of supplying fentanyl-laced pills that played a role in Skaggs’ fatal overdose.
- During their time together on the Arizona Diamondbacks roster in 2012-13, Skaggs disclosed to his former agent Ryan Hamill in 2013 that Miley had provided him with pain pills containing oxycodone.
- During Kay's trial, Matt Harvey and three former Angels players testified that Skaggs supplied them with pills and that they observed drug use for recreational purposes, while Miley has not been charged with any crimes and the Reds declined to comment.
- These developments suggest ongoing scrutiny of drug use in professional baseball and could affect Miley's public image though no legal consequences for him have been reported to date.
