Gotta be mad at only one thing per week, or else we'll suffer outrage fatigue. This week it's the Russian Olympians; perhaps we can pencil the Angels in for sometime in May?
I understand a guy like Harvey getting immunity from prosecution for testifying But higher ups in the Angels organization, who are proven to have known what was going on, should be held responsible both legally, and by mlb We know mlb won't turn on a team from LA, so it would be up to the courts to hold them accountable
Welll... https://theathletic.com/3144655/202...us-turns-to-the-question-of-angels-liability/ Litigation around Tyler Skaggs’ death continues as focus turns to the question of Angels’ liability Despite the seeming finality of the criminal case in the death of pitcher Tyler Skaggs, which saw former Angels employee Eric Kay convicted on two felony counts, litigation remains ongoing. Kay will spend at least 20 years in federal prison following his scheduled sentencing in June, and it’s possible that will not be the last punishment doled out in this tragic saga. That much was made clear by Rusty Hardin, the Skaggs family attorney, only minutes after Thursday’s verdict was announced. “The trial showed Eric Kay’s drug trafficking was known to numerous people in the Angels organization, and it resulted in the tragic and unnecessary death of one of their most popular players,” Hardin said in a prepared statement. “We have no doubt that the Angels knew what Eric Kay was doing, and the team is morally and legally responsible for his conduct. In the upcoming civil cases, we are looking forward to holding the team accountable.” In the past, the Angels have strongly disagreed with the assertion that Kay’s exploits — he’s now known to have distributed opioids to at least six former Angels players — were known to others in the organization. The law firm Bird Marella conducted an internal investigation and said it did not find that other Angels employees were aware of Kay’s actions. Yet the Angels and Kay now face civil litigation. Skaggs’ parents filed wrongful death lawsuits against both parties in Texas, while Skaggs’ widow, Carli, is suing the Angels in California, alleging negligence.
Story never garnered much national attention so MLB is just ignoring it. Probably a deep opioid problem in baseball as with the rest of society.
