Yesterday was a big day for the Red Sox and all of the Fenway Faithful. MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred finally delivered the results of his investigation into the 2018 regular season. Boston will lose a second-round draft pick, Alex Cora is suspended through this season, and the replay room attendant J.T. Watkins is suspended through 2020.
One man that was cleared very early in this process was Ron Roenicke. He was the bench coach during 2018 but the MLB was fast to clear his name this offseason. This then gave the Red Sox the ability to name him the interim manager as he was the perfect fit for the job.
