COMMENTARY
So here’s what we know about Alex Cora as a major league manager: Nothing. His slate is as blank as the Red Sox’ won-lost record will be come the morning of March 29, when they open the season at Tampa Bay.
He has spent one season as bench coach with the Houston Astros, managed the mighty Criollos de Caguas in the Puerto Rican Winter League from 2014-16 . . . and that is about it for his dugout experience, unless you think he gained some knowledge through osmosis by sitting next to so many managers during a 14-year playing career spent mostly as a utility player.
