A former Los Angeles Angels official testified Wednesday that a team employee convicted of providing drugs that led to the death of one of the team’s star pitchers was good at his job but had some behavioral issues and had been taking prescription medication to deal with depression and bipolar disorder. Tim Mead was the first witness to testify in the long-awaited civil trial in a wrongful-death lawsuit filed by the family of the late pitcher Tyler Skaggs. Mead left the Angels, where he oversaw the team’s communications, a few weeks before the 2019 overdose death to become president of the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
