The Red Sox and manager Alex Cora have agreed on a three-year contract extension ($21.75M), which will last through the 2027 season.
If Cora is still around at that time, he will have managed the Red Sox for nine seasons, the second-most in franchise history, behind only Joe Cronin (13 seasons, 1935-47) and just ahead of Terry Francona (8 seasons, 2004-11).
Jarren Duran – who leads MLB with 12 triples, tops the AL with 30 doubles, and is 14th in the AL in OPS+ – liked the news.
He's pulled me aside a couple times and we've talked about stuff.
