Lawyers clash over Angels’ alleged role in Tyler Skaggs’ death
Deal Score0
The family of late pitcher Tyler Skaggs argued in closing arguments that the Los Angeles Angels’ failure to investigate drug use by an employee led to Skaggs’ 2019 overdose. The Angels’ attorney countered that Skaggs was secretly pushing for pills and the team would have sought help had they known. The wrongful death lawsuit seeks damages, with experts differing on Skaggs’ potential future earnings. A verdict will determine if the team is liable for his death from a fentanyl-laced pill provided by a convicted former employee.
