Five months after Angels pitcher Tyler Skaggs died with two opioids in his bloodstream, MLB and its players’ union have agreed on a new drug policy.
The investigation into whether Houston cheated is probably the most thorough probe the MLB commissioner’s office has ever conducted, Rob Manfred says.
The policy also would allow major and minor leaguers to use marijuana for pain relief without fear of discipline. Until now, minor league players have been subject to testing for marijuana and could be suspended for repeated use.
“Hats off to Tony for being forthcoming on the issue,” Manfred said. “I think they made an agreement that is realistic in terms of how you handle people with opioid problems, and I think it will be an improvement for the industry going forward.”
