Former Los Angeles Angels visiting clubhouse manager Brian "Bubba" Harkins named , Dylan Bundy, Matt Andriese, Yusmeiro Petit and other pitchers as those he supplied with an illegal ball-doctoring substance in an Orange County Superior Court filing Thursday.
According to the Los Angeles Times' Mike DiGiovanna, Harkins, who is engaged in a court battle with the Angels and MLB, revealed the names in an opposition to a motion to dismiss filed on behalf of the league.
Text messages from Cole—MLB's highest-paid pitcher—were among the documents submitted.
"Hey Bubba, it's Gerrit Cole, I was wondering if you could help me out with this sticky situation," Cole texted in January 2019.
