LA Angels should be held responsible for pitcher Skaggs’ overdose death, lawyer says | Sports

SANTA ANA, Calif. – The Los Angeles Angels should be held responsible for the drug overdose death of one of its star pitchers because the team failed to follow its own drug policies and let an addicted and drug dealing employee stay on the job and have access to the players, a lawyer for the pitcher’s family said on Tuesday.

An attorney for the Angels, however, said the MLB team had no knowledge 27-year-old Tyler Skaggs was using drugs or they would have done something to help.
