HOUSTON -- Alex Cora will be in New York on Sunday, as the American League Championship Series switches cities.
And the Boston Red Sox will be there meet him.
Cora, the Houston Astros' bench coach and a top managerial prospect, is slated to interview with Red Sox president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski during a day off in the ALCS against the New York Yankees, a major-league source confirmed. Boston is shopping for a manager after dismissing John Farrell earlier this week.
With the Astros still alive in the postseason, the Red Sox requested and received permission to speak with Cora, who is also expected to be a candidate for managerial openings with the Detroit Tigers, Philadelphia Phillies and New York Mets.
