Sales are part of an unlawful death case filed by Skaggs’ family against his former Los Angeles Angels. Skaggs and Miley were teammates with Arizona Diamondbacks in 2012 and 2013.
Former La Angels-Publicist Eric Kay was convicted in Texas of delivering the fentanyl-corded pills that an autopsy found contributed to Skaggs’ death.
Kay was sentenced to 22 years in federal imprisonment in 2022.

Miley, 38, is not facing criminal charges, and this is not the first time his name is coming up compared to Skaggs’ death. In the criminal trial of Kay’s case, prosecutors used a recording of a conversation between Kay and his mother, where Kay said Miley was one of Skaggs’ fabric suppliers.
Formerly New York Mets Ace Matt Harvey admitted during the Cait’s trial that he delivered drugs to Skaggs. The two were teammates with the angels of the year of Skaggs’ death.
Harvey, CJ Cron, Mike Morin and Cam Bedrosian also said in court that they were getting drugs from Kay.
Harvey and three other players also testified that they received pills from Skaggs and described the recreational drug they witnessed while they were with the angels.
Miley signed a one -year contract with Reds on June 4 and has started two starts this season. He had Tommy John operation on his left elbow in May 2024 and signed a smaller league agreement with Cincinnati in February.

The Reds had no comments Thursday and Miley was not immediately available for comment.
Skaggs was 27 years old when he was found in a hotel room in Southlake, Texas, before the angels were to play Texas Rangers.
