Reds' Wade Miley responds after being identified as alleged drug supplier to late Tyler Skaggs
Check out the best moments from the New York Yankees vs. Boston Red Sox game.
Cincinnati Reds pitcher Wade Miley was recently tabbed as one of Tyler Skaggs' alleged drug suppliers before his death from an overdose in 2019.
Skaggs’ former agent, Ryan Hamill, said in a deposition earlier this week that Skaggs told him he had been using pain pills containing oxycodone, which were provided by Miley.
The deposition is part of a wrongful death lawsuit filed by Skaggs' family against his former Los Angeles Angels. Skaggs and Miley were teammates with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2012 and 2013.

Miley briefly addressed the matter on Friday.
"I hate what happened to Tyler. It sucks. My thoughts are with his family and friends," he began. "But I’m not going to sit here and talk about things that somebody might have said about me or whatnot. I was never a witness for any of this. I’ve never been accused of any wrongdoing."
Former LA Angels publicist Eric Kay was convicted in Texas of providing the fentanyl-laced pills that an autopsy found had contributed to Skaggs' death. He was sentenced to 22 years in federal prison in 2022.
