Drug dealer for Tyler Skaggs testifies, stage set for Matt Harvey to take stand in trial of former Angels staffer Eric Kay

FORT WORTH, Texas -- It was thrown in almost as an aside, part of a cross-examination at the end of an eventful day in court. While questioning a former DEA agent, defense attorney Michael Molfetta asked whether the agent was aware that in 2019, Tyler Skaggs sent Los Angeles Angels teammate Matt Harvey a text asking him to put drugs in his locker because he wanted to pitch "loosey goosey."

That nugget, and the suggestion that Skaggs pitched in a game while high, made its way into the record of the U.S. v. Eric Kay during Monday's testimony.
