MLB star Mike Trout testifies in lawsuit over overdose death of teammate Tyler Skaggs

• Angels star addresses friendship with Tyler Skaggs

• Family suing team for $118m over death of pitcher

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.
