Red Sox leadership to address Alex Cora removal

The Red Sox will hold a press conference at 1 p.m. to address the removal of Alex Cora as manager.

Owner John Henry, chairman Tom Werner, president Sam Kennedy and chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom are scheduled to speak. ESPN will carry video.

Cora and the Red Sox parted ways after Cora was implicated in an illegal sign-stealing scheme following an MLB investigation. Cora, as bench coach for the Houston Astros in 2017, was found to have established and maintained a system that used electronic devices in a manner forbidden by the league to decode sign sequences and help batters gain an edge.
