According to an extremely detailed report from Outside The Lines’ T.J. Quinn, numerous Angels employees were aware of Tyler Skaggs’ drug abuse well before he was found passed out in his hotel room on July 1, 2019.
Quinn cites sources familiar with the DEA investigation, including naming Eric Kay (the Angels’ director of communications) as supplying Skaggs with opiates.
A public relations employee for the Los Angeles Angels told federal investigators that he provided oxycodone to Tyler Skaggs and abused it with him for years, and that two team officials were told about Skaggs’ drug use long before his death, according to two sources familiar with the investigation.
