Good morning, Birdland!
These next couple of weeks tend to be some of the quietest of the offseason. Teams are shuffling their 40-man rosters. Free agents are gauging interest behind the scenes. It’s all important, but fairly boring from a fan’s perspective.
One team, however, decided to make a major move this week. And they were so proud of the move that they waited until the entire country was enveloped in news coverage of maps, counties and vote counts before they announced it.
The Red Sox announced on Friday that they were re-hiring Alex Cora as their manager.
