Detroit Tigers announced Wednesday, June 27, 2018 the team has fired pitching coach Chris Bosio for insensitive comments. Wochit
Former Detroit Tigers pitching coach Chris Bosio denied allegations of directing “insensitive comments” at a team employee on Thursday afternoon, telling USA TODAY’s Bob Nightengale that his comments were not racial in nature, rather a nickname for left-handed reliever Daniel Stumpf.
But it is unclear if indeed the nickname Bosio used is one associated with the Tigers' pitcher.
Bosio was fired on Wednesday afternoon for violating the team’s zero-tolerance policy, general manager Al Avila said.
