Lawyers for the Los Angeles Angels were discussing a possible settlement Friday with the family of pitcher Tyler Skaggs following a trial over whether the team should be held responsible for Skaggs' 2019 fatal drug overdose, according to a person with knowledge of the case who was not authorized to discuss deliberations publicly.
Jurors began deliberating earlier this week after a two-month trial in the case. Skaggs died after he snorted a fentanyl-laced pill provided by the team’s communications director, Eric Kay. Kay was previously sentenced to 22 years in prison for his role in Skaggs' death.
