The Rangers in a statement offered "deepest sympathies to the family of Tyler Skaggs and to the entire Angels organization on this shocking loss." The team's manager, Chris Woodard, remembered Skaggs as an “intriguing guy” and a formidable opponent.

“He wasn’t a guy I enjoyed having to go up against. He gave all the teams I coached fits. A very promising arm,” Woodard told reporters at a press conference Monday. “Everybody spoke very, very highly of him from a character standpoint. He was tough to root against because you heard such great things about him. It’s awful to think that’s not going to be around anymore.”
