It’s been less than a year since Alex Cora was officially named manager of the Boston Red Sox and so far he’s pulled off the most successful season in franchise history. With 108 wins, the Sox are headed to the ALDS to face the New York Yankees in the postseason for the first time in almost 14 years.
Cora, an MLB veteran and former Red Sox infielder, is entering his first postseason as team manager with the same team he won a World Series with in 2007. When Cora was appointed to the position, he was valued for his experience playing in Boston, his knack for baseball analytics and ability to communicate with the team.
