The Tigers are nearing a decision on their next pitching coach.
“Getting closer,” manager Brad Ausmus said in a text message Monday evening.
Among those in the running for the job are minor-league pitching coordinator A.J. Sager and veteran Major League pitching coach Steve McCatty. The Tigers talked with both as part of what was a large group of initial candidates last week. Others who have been expected to be considered include former Tigers pitcher and ex-Astros pitching coach Doug Brocail.
A final decision could be held up by the start of the World Series Tuesday.
