Federal prosecutors intend to prove that former Los Angeles Angels staffer Eric Kay ran a drug distribution operation that supplied illegal narcotics to several MLB players, including the fentanyl that allegedly led to the death of Tyler Skaggs in 2019.
According to court documents filed on Friday and obtained by the Los Angeles Times and The League of Justice's Amy Dash, “approximately” five MLB players are prepared to testify that they obtained oxycodone from Kay. Prosecutors allege that Kay coordinated the supply of narcotics from nine different suppliers and sometimes used Skaggs as a middleman for distribution.
