paid $200 each to three Detroit pitchers and $75 to Stanage. Stanage insisted, "It was merely a reward for our beating the Red Sox and there was nothing about laying down mentioned." Gandil and Risberg later stated that they had, in fact, paid the Tigers $45 apiece for "sloughing" in the series against the White Sox. Stanage testified at the hearing called by Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis and was asked if he thought there was anything about him giving up 21 stolen bases in the series with the White Sox. Stanage drew laughs when he answered, "That happened to me lots of times." Minor leagues In January 1921, the Tigers traded Stanage and three other players to the Los Angeles Angels of the Pacific Coast League (PCL) in exchange for catcher Johnny Bassler. Stanage appeared in 96 games as a catcher for the Angels and compiled a .278 batting average. In December 1921, the Angels sold Stanage to the Sacramento Senators, also of the PCL. Stanage appeared in 96 games as a catcher for Sacramento in 1922 and compiled a .267 batting average. In March 1923, Stanage signed to play for the Visalia Pirates. He was released by Visalia in early June as part of a cost-cutting measure by the San Joaquin Valley teams. On February 1, 1924, Stanage signed with the Toronto Maple Leafs of the International League. He appeared in 96 games for Toronto, 92 of them as a catcher, and compiled a .252 batting average. Coaching career In February 1925, Stanage was hired by Detroit manager Ty Cobb as the Tigers' pitching coach. Stanage also appeared in three games as a player in 1925, garnering one hit in five at bats. He played his last major league game on June 17, 1925. In January 1926, Stanage was hired as a player-manager for the Evansville Hubs of the Three-Eye League.

On November 30, 1926, after Cobb left as the Tigers' manager, Stanage was hired as a coach for the Pittsburgh Pirates; his former Detroit teammate Donie Bush had just been hired as the Pirates' manager.
