Boston Red Sox chairman Tom Werner said former manager Alex Cora admitted he was wrong for playing a "central role" in the Houston Astros' sign-stealing scheme, leading to the two sides mutually agreeing to part ways this week.
"Alex was understanding and professional and he admitted what he did was wrong," Werner told reporters Wednesday. "Alex by his own admission played a central role in what went on in Houston. We all agreed it was wrong, and that we had a responsibility as stewards where we have a standard where that behavior is unacceptable.
