Alex Cora, after accepting the Manager of the Year award from the Boston chapter of the Baseball Writers Association of America last night:
If you guys thought last year was special, wait till this year.
As Alex Speier of the Globe writes:
And with that, the ballroom at the InterContinental Hotel erupted. ... Cora waved off the notion of complacency or satisfaction for a team that soon will be confronted by a million questions about World Series hangovers and motivations. ...
[Cora] will not be wedded to what worked so well in 2018 if he believes there is a way of improving on it in 2019.
