Matt Harvey Named as Possible Drug Source for Ex-Teammate Tyler Skaggs

Matt Harvey was named as a possible drug source for former Angels teammate Tyler Skaggs on Tuesday by Eric Kay’s defense attorney on the first day of Kay's trial in connection to Skaggs's death, per ESPN's T.J. Quinn.

Kay, the former Angels communications director is on trial after a Texas federal grand jury indicted him on two counts in the overdose death of Skaggs. The indictment charged Kay with distributing the fentanyl that caused Skaggs's death in 2019.

"On or about June 30, 2019 … Eric Prescott Kay, the defendant, did knowingly and intentionally distribute a mixture and substance containing a detectable amount of fentanyl, a Schedule II controlled substance, and the use of said substance resulted in the death and serious bodily injury of [Skaggs]," the indictment said.
