Pitching coach controversy

On June 27, 2018, Tigers pitching coach Chris Bosio was fired due to racially insensitive comments. Bosio would claim that the offending comment was referring to Stumpf as "Spider Monkey" due to the faces he would make while lifting weights, which was overheard by an African American clubhouse attendant. However, Stumpf would say on the matter, "Spider Monkey is not a nickname I have been called or I'm familiar with," and four additional sources who spoke to The Athletic disputed Bosio's version of events.
