News just broke that the Boston Red Sox and manager Alex Cora have decided to separate. With MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred dropping the hammer on the Houston Astros yesterday it was just a matter of time before Cora was reprimanded. In the meantime it felt like Boston may wait for his punishment before making a move, that feeling is now gone.
If you had the chance to read the Commissioner’s report then you knew that Cora wouldn’t escape this fiasco unscathed. In fact, it seemed as if he was suspect numero uno in the investigation as his name was tied to the most egregious acts.
