We often hear about the “sophomore slump” when it comes to sports. A rookie comes out in their first season and sets the world on fire just to crumble in year two. Alex Cora did just that in his first season as Red Sox manager. The team made a historic run to the World Series and won their fourth title in 15 years. How can they follow that kind of performance?
This is a big worry for me as a member of the Fenway Faithful. This team was nothing short of magical during the 2018 season.
