Interesting interview.  I liked how he both owned and explained the poor breaking ball.

Matt Harvey is testifying today in the Skaggs trial. 

Matt Harvey admits to drug use, says he gave Tyler Skaggs Percocet during 2019 season

Quote

Former Mets ace Matt Harvey appeared in court Tuesday, testifying in the case of ex-Angels employee Eric Kay, who is standing trial for allegedly providing drugs that may have contributed to Tyler Skaggs’ fatal overdose in 2019. Harvey, who would have invoked his fifth amendment right had he not been granted immunity, admitted to sharing Percocet with Skaggs while the two were Angels teammates in 2019.

Yup, speaks highly of the organization. I remember when I'd wear my Arrieta Orioles jersey and people would tell me how we screwed up letting him go. It was like, nope best thing for him. He WAS a good dude too (can't speak to now as last I talked to him was 2012/13?). Remember in Norfolk his last year or two he was so frustrated with the Orioles.

The Matt Harvey stuff is pretty sad.  

I bet blow is pretty prevalent in the MLB today.

Given that the estimated panther population in the State is between 120-230 adults I find it rather unlikely.

Dwight Smith Jr signs a minor league deal with the White Sox.

I think GMs are so bored during the lockout that everybody who has passed through Baltimore the last couple years, no matter how bad, will wind up signing with someone.

 At least he went to a team I was already rooting against.

Mike Wright signs a minor league deal with the Dodgers.

He spent most of last year in AAA for the White Sox, although he was briefly up in the majors for them, after two successful years in Korea.
