The Detroit Tigers announced the firing of pitching coach Chris Bosio over "insensitive comments" that violated a club policy.
"The organization holds all of our personnel to the highest standards of personal conduct both on and off the field. We have zero tolerance for this type of behavior. The Club will have no further comment on this matter," the Tigers said in a statement.
Bosio, 55, was hired by the Tigers for the 2018 season after six years with the Chicago Cubs. Specifics of the comments he made have not yet been made available.
