Chris Bosio, fired by the Chicago Cubs in a surprise move five days ago, is the top candidate to be the Detroit Tigers' new pitching coach, according to the Athletic's Ken Rosenthal.
Bosio, 54, had a decade-long pitching career for the Milwaukee Brewers and Seattle Mariners and has been a pitching coach for three teams.
New Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire is expected to have many new faces on his staff, leaving the fate of many coaches who worked under Brad Ausmus up in the air.
Venezuelan journalist Efrain Zavarce reported Thursday that first base coach Omar Vizquel will not be back with the Tigers in 2018.
