It didn’t take long for the initial investigation to reveal who the employee was. I doubt that Kay called them early on and said “hey it was me.” Someone in the know had to have ratted him out. It wasn’t just a secret between him and Skaggs. 

Negative.

It will be made public in time, so ill let that happen before I say how, but it was figured out the day off... by cops doing cop stuff.

Or, you know.... They checked the phone records of the guy they found dead and connected the dots...       I don't think this is some Agatha Christie level mystery.  Someone knows, but I do not. 

I just hope they make it a point to clean house when it's all said and done....

Which is fine .... But the narrative he's trying to spew about caring about the family's peace of mind or whatever rings hollow.  Regardless of his tripe about wanting to do right and his own struggles with addiction he's not a sympathetic figure. 

His motivation in this is to save his own hide first last and always.

this is EXACTLY what I was referring to when I put out the bullshit alert.

Bro, can a guy make detective by staying in a Holiday Inn Express and binge watching Ivestigation Discovery Channel?  Cause .....

This is what frustrates me, when people come out and talk about people needing to be held responsive. When that person played a key and Big role. Where was that responsibly when he was giving Skaggs the drugs and earning some cash??

Also, reference Kay and his statement. I have no idea what he knows, who else knew, etc etc.

But if an addict that OD'd twice alone this year, who was facing legal troubles, underplayed his role and blamed someone else, why.... Id be shocked. Totally shocked.

Most of the addicts I arrest are usually on the straight and narrow, take full responsibility, and never lie when I question them about stuff.

bingo

Well yeah, but right now it's the Angels.

As a FA player maybe you don't let it affect your decision.

But as a managerial candidate, do you want to be the face of the Angels drug scandal?

 

I don’t think Joe Maddon gets stuck as the face of a drug scandal.  I just don’t accept that’s the thing that he is even considering or should worry about.  Nothing to do with him.  This will all blow over by the start of next season.  The Angels will settle it and there will be NDA’s and it’ll go away and that will be that.  People are gonna get money.  That’s for sure.

........ sadly... and im not making this up... that was me last night.

To answer your question, you also have to watch old barney miller episodes.( @Tank?)

Of the AW crowd, I go with @Dtwncbad, because hes a walking encyclopedia of miami vice episodes.

Yeah if it can all be put to bed before Spring Training then fine.

Otherwise if it drags out into the regular season the new manager will be left holding the bag.

And doing it with him....

Also, I don’t get talking about Chuck saying this Kay guy is a good guy.  Im sure he he treated Chuck and others well and lots of people probably feel the same way.  Honestly.  The stark black and white way of looking at people and the world some of you pretend to have.  It’s easy enough to be like that from behind a key board.  When you are completely disconnected from it all.  Real easy.  Good grief.  Everyone has their weaknesses.  This guy is drug addict like millions of others.  A horrible tragedy happened.  Unfortunately as a consequence of his bad habits.  And his buddy Tyler Skaggs.  Let’s not pretend he didn’t play his part.  Kay didn’t shove the opioids down Tyler’s throat.  All of it is not good ! Bad ! But that doesn’t make Kay evil in his core.  I wonder how many of you would sing to fuc*king feds.  Get real.

Or if the yankees advance.

Seriously.... remember when the dodgers doing human trafficking popped up? Kinda sorta?

Like I doubt this lasts longer than the pirates pitcher who was banging a minor a few WEEKS ago.

The only thing that will last is Kershaw kershawing again, hardy har har.

Ya seems like institutional indifference to human trafficking is sort of bad !

The difference between this drug scandal and some other scandals is a guy died, so it's a serious matter.

Exactly. It’s a big scandal, but the players are still going to play next season and they’ll still need a manager. And I don’t see that as having a negative effect on free agency either. 

Arte will have a fun year, between that and all the stuff with the stadium.  Possibly some players on the roster will get outed. I hope they don’t. I hope any who are abusing drugs quietly get the help they need without getting dragged out in the public eye. Probably too much to ask, but anyway.
