Four former Angels say they received drugs from staffer linked to the death of Tyler Skaggs

The trial of Eric Kay, the former Angels communications director charged with distributing the opioids that caused the death of pitcher Tyler Skaggs, saw some important developments come to light on Tuesday morning, as four former Halos players—Matt Harvey, C.J. Cron, Mike Morin and Cam Bedrosian—testified that they had also been given oxycodone pills by Kay during their tenure with the club.

The first of the former Angels to testify on Tuesday was Harvey, who was subpoenaed by the government and granted immunity in order to get him to take the stand.

During his testimony, Harvey revealed that he had given Skaggs Percocet pills on multiple occasions during his lone season with the Angels in 2019, including a few days before his death on July 1.
