Miley Denies Allegations Related to Late Tyler Skaggs
A baseball player named Tyler Skaggs sadly passed away from a drug overdose.
Now, there's talk that another player, Wade Miley, may have been involved in giving Skaggs drugs.
Skaggs's agent says Skaggs told him he got pills from Miley.
The Skaggs family is suing the Los Angeles Angels, the team Skaggs played for, claiming the team should have known about the drug use.
Miley denies any wrongdoing, stating he was never accused of a crime and is focusing on baseball.
Another person, who provided drugs to Skaggs, is currently in jail for this.
The legal case is ongoing.
Wade Miley denies any wrongdoing concerning allegations of supplying Tyler Skaggs with drugs.
Skaggs' agent testified that Skaggs admitted to obtaining Percocets through Miley in 2013.

Skaggs died in 2019 from an overdose including fentanyl, oxycodone, and alcohol.
Eric Kay, former Angels communications director, is serving a prison sentence for providing drugs to Skaggs.
