Red Sox’ Alex Cora explained why he’s been impressed with Celtics’ coach Joe Mazzulla

With one World Series title under his belt, Alex Cora has already reached the summit of his profession as a manager.

Joe Mazzulla is trying to make the same ascent this spring with the Celtics, with the first-year coach looking to join a small fraternity of individuals responsible for leading one of Boston’s teams to a championship.

And with the Celtics granted an off day in Philadelphia on Saturday, Mazzulla opted to pick Cora’s brain as a guest during the Red Sox’ road tilt against the Phillies.

Cora, who shared some words with Mazzulla during batting practice at Citizens Bank Park, said that the Celtics coach had some questions about how the Red Sox orchestrated their run to a title back in 2018.
