In the most important news you’ll hear today, Alex Cora is back as manager of the Boston Red Sox.
Clearly, this was the Sox’ plan for the last year. They parted ways with Cora after the Astros’ cheating scandal came to light. Cora was the bench coach in Houston in 2017 before being named the Red Sox’ manager in 2018. Both teams won World Series, and both were later investigated by MLB for sign stealing. Boston named Ron Roenicke the interim manager for 2020, leaving the door wide open for Cora’s return in the future.
