If Matt Harvey can find a team willing to sign him, he could immediately be suspended for at least 60 days for saying that he provided opioids to Tyler Skaggs on several occasions, a Major League Baseball official told ESPN on Wednesday.
Harvey's admission in federal court Tuesday qualifies as distribution under MLB's drug policy, the official told ESPN on the condition of anonymity.
Harvey, currently a free agent, would be able to appeal any suspension.
"Once the trial is complete, MLB will conduct a comprehensive review of the potential violations of our drug program," MLB said in a statement.
