Jury selection begins in Orange County as the Skaggs wrongful-death case against the Los Angeles Angels moves toward trial. Plaintiffs seek at least $210 million in lost earnings, arguing the Angels breached duty by letting Kay supply opioids to players. The case could run weeks.

Witnesses include Mike Trout, Albert Pujols, and Andrew Heaney; the proceedings probe clubhouse culture and Kay’s role. The verdict could reshape MLB drug policy and how teams manage medical issues and player safety.
