푸홀스가 에인절스에서 있던 불미스런 일에 휘말렸다는 기사를 읽은 적 있어 다시 찾아 보니 푸홀스가 아닌 트라웃


Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout testified Tuesday that he loved his teammate Tyler Skaggs like a brother and did not see any signs of drug use before the pitcher died of an overdose in 2019.

Trout, one of the greatest baseball players of his generation, took the stand in a civil trial in California over whether the Angels should be held responsible for their former communications director, Eric Kay, giving Skaggs a fentanyl-laced pill that led to his death.

Trout told the courtroom about his friendship with Skaggs, which started when the Angels drafted both players out of high school as teenagers in 2009. Trout said Skaggs was “very funny, outgoing, fun to be around” and acted as the team’s DJ.

Trout also said Kay was good at his job, getting players to give interviews and guiding them on which questions they might be asked. At one point, however, Trout said a clubhouse attendant suggested the players should stop paying Kay for stunts like taking a fastball to the leg, shaving off his eyebrows and eating a pimple off Trout’s back. The attendant was concerned the money might be used for a “bad purpose.”

Trout said he had seen Kay acting wired and sweating and “the first thing that came to mind was drugs”. Trout added it was clear Kay was “using something”.

“I just didn’t know what it was,” Trout told the court, adding he approached Kay and offered to help him if needed. Trout was not asked whether he reported his concerns to the team.

The testimony came at the trial for a wrongful death lawsuit filed by Skaggs’ wife, Carli, and his parents, who contend the Angels made a series of reckless decisions that gave Kay access to players when he was an addict and dealing drugs. The team has countered that Skaggs was also drinking heavily and his actions occurred on his own time and in the privacy of his hotel room.

The trial comes more than six years after the 27-year-old was found dead in a Dallas hotel room before the Angels were due to play the Texas Rangers. A coroner’s report says Skaggs choked to death on his vomit and that a toxic mix of alcohol, fentanyl and oxycodone was found in his system.

Kay was convicted in 2022 of providing Skaggs with a counterfeit oxycodone pill laced with fentanyl and sentenced to 22 years in federal prison. His trial included testimony from five MLB players who said they received oxycodone from Kay at various times from 2017 to 2019, the years he was accused of obtaining pills and giving them to Angels players.

Skaggs’s family is seeking $118m for the pitcher’s lost earnings, compensation for pain and suffering, as well as punitive damages against the team.

Skaggs had been a regular in the Angels’ starting rotation since late 2016 and struggled with injuries repeatedly during that time. He previously played for the Arizona Diamondbacks.

After Skaggs’s death, the MLB reached a deal with the players association to start testing for opioids and to refer those who test positive to the treatment board.

In addition to Trout, other players including former Angels pitcher Wade Miley, who currently plays for the Cincinnati Reds, could also testify in what is expected to be a weekslong trial in Santa Ana, California.

ㅡ 마약중독자들이 마약 구하려면 별 짓 다 한다는 걸 이용해 에인절스 선수들이 시속 90마일(약 145km)짜리 강속구 맞기, 클럽하우스 바닥의 벌레 먹기, 눈썹 밀기, 냉탕에 뛰어들기, 헬멧 쓰고 머리에 공 맞기, 그리고 등에 난 뾰루지 짜먹기 등을 한 걸 트라웃이 인정했다고 함.

Skaggs’ family attorney Bill Haggerty questioned Trout about the 11-time All-Star allegedly daring Kay to perform a series of bizarre acts, which Trout referred to as “horseplay.” He admitted to participating in dares that included Kay eating a popped pimple off of Trout’s back, taking a 90 mph fastball to the leg, eating a bug off the clubhouse floor and shaving his eyebrows. Advertisement “I’m not proud of it,” Trout said. Trout testified that the dares ended when he was informed by clubhouse attendant Kris Constanti that Kay was using the money made from them for “illicit purposes.” "The first thing that came to my mind was drugs," Trout said when asked what he thought Constanti meant by that. "That's what I got out of it. I don't know what kind of drugs."

최지만은 지난 5월 27일 '스톡킹' 채널에서 공개된 '메이저리거 둘+MLB빠 아재 둘이서 본격 MLB 털어보기(feat. 지맨초이)' 영상에 출연했다.

이날 그는 메이저리그 첫 팀이었던 LA 에인절스에 대해 회상하며 "(에인절스) 팀 분위기가 대개 꼰대였다. 신인이면 원정 때 맥주를 버스에서 비행기 타기 전까지 마실 건지 물어보면서 다녀야 한다"라며 "이 분위기 중심에 트라웃이 있었다"고 폭로했다.

1991년으로 트라웃과 동갑인 최지만은 "우리가 24세 시절인데 너무 심했다. 물 있는 페트병을 우리에게 던지기까지 했다"라며 "그걸 본 앨버트 푸홀스가 막아줬다"라고 트라웃의 실체와 더불어 푸홀스의 미담도 공개했다.
