Reds Pitcher Wade Miley Accused in Court Documents of Being Drug Supplier for the Late Tyler Skaggs
- Wade Miley, a left-handed pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds, is identified in legal filings dated June 13, 2025, as having supplied drugs to Tyler Skaggs, the Los Angeles Angels player who passed away in a Dallas-area hotel in 2019.
- The claims stem from a wrongful death case initiated by Skaggs' relatives and include evidence such as testimony and recordings from 2013 where Skaggs allegedly identified Miley as a source of drugs.
- Additional court evidence includes testimony from former Angels teammates describing drug use, and the conviction of former Angels publicist Eric Kay for providing fentanyl-laced pills linked to Skaggs' death.
- Miley, 38, recently signed a minor league deal in February 2024, underwent Tommy John surgery in May 2024, and signed a one-year Reds contract on June 4, 2025; he is not facing criminal charges.
- The accusations bring renewed attention to Skaggs' 2019 accidental overdose and could influence ongoing legal proceedings, though Miley has denied wrongdoing and faces no formal charges.
