Report: Matt Harvey Could Face Suspension After Admitting Opioid Distribution

Matt Harvey is facing a suspension of at least 60 days after admitting in court to distributing opioids to late Angels pitcher Tyler Skaggs, according to ESPN’s T.J. Quinn.

In a statement, MLB told Quinn: "Once the trial is complete, MLB will conduct a comprehensive review of the potential violations of our drug program."

Harvey’s admission is a violation of MLB's drug policy for drug distribution. He is currently a free agent and would have to sign with a team before serving the suspension.

MLB can’t announce a suspension until it and the MLBPA agree to a new CBA.
