  1. “SANTA ANA, Calif. — Multiple current and former Major League Baseball players were named as potential witnesses for the upcoming civil trial brought by the family of Tyler Skaggs against the Angels.
    Included on the witness list — which was discussed in Orange County Superior court on Monday — are former MLB superstar Albert Pujols, former infielder Trevor Plouffe, current Angels star Mike Trout and pitchers Patrick Corbin and Andrew Heaney, among numerous others.
    Court proceedings in the wrongful death case began last week, with jury selection set to start on Oct. 6. Lawyers for the Skaggs family are seeking to prove that the team was aware, or should have been aware that former Angels communications director Eric Kay was providing opioids to Skaggs, who died from ingesting fentanyl on July 1, 2019. Kay is currently serving 22 years in federal prison for his role in Skaggs’ death.”

  2. from the previous article-

    >”The filing also included deposition testimony from four different Angels employees and executives, discussing clubhouse behavior they were aware of involving Kay — including eating a pimple off Trout’s back in exchange for cash.”

    genuinely confused as to how the Skaggs team would use this information to help their case? I guess the idea is “he’s crazy, he is acting like a drug addict” or something?
