The Cincinnati Reds La Redos, Wade Miley, was recently tabulated as one of the alleged drug suppliers of Tyler Skaggs before his death for an overdose in 2019.
The former Skaggs agent, Ryan Hamill, said in a statement earlier this week that Skaggs told him that he had been using pain pills containing oxycodone, which were provided by Miley.
The deposition is part of a lawsuit for unfair death filed by Skaggs’ family against their former angels of Los Angeles. Skaggs and Miley were teammates from the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2012 and 2013.

Miley briefly addressed the matter on Friday.
“I hate what happened to Tyler. Apest. My thoughts are with his family and friends,” he began. “But I’m not going to sit here and talk about things that someone could have said about me or other things. I never witnessed any of this. I have never been accused of having acted badly.”

Miley, 38, does not face criminal charges, and is not the first time that his name appears in relation to the death of Skaggs. During the judgment phase of Kay’s case, prosecutors used a recording of a conversation between Kay and her mother, in which Kay said that Miley was one of Skaggs drug suppliers.
New York Mets, Matt Harvey, admitted during the Kay trial that he had supplied drugs to Skaggs. The two were teammates with the Angels in the year of Skaggs’ death.
Harvey, CJ Cron, Mike Morin and Cam Bedrosian also said in court that Kay had provided drugs.
Harvey and three other players also testified that they received Skaggs pills and described the consumption of recreational drugs that they witnessed while they were with the Angels.
Miley signed a one -year contract with Los Rojos on June 4 and made two openings this season. He had a surgery of Tommy John in the left elbow in May 2024 and signed a minor leagues agreement with Cincinnati in February.
