Alex Cora’s return should be huge for the Boston Red Sox
The 2018 Boston Red Sox were winners. They won the most games in spring training, the regular season, and the postseason, capturing the franchise’s ninth World Series Championship.
In a year full of winning, the team’s first victory actually came during the 2017 playoffs, when Houston Astros bench coach and former Red Sox shortstop Alex Cora was named the team’s 47th manager.
