Reports: Boston Red Sox bring back Alex Cora as manager

The Boston Red Sox have rehired former manager Alex Cora, according to multiple reports.

Cora led the Red Sox to the 2018 World Series title, but mutually agreed to part with the club amid the Houston Astros sign-stealing scandal. He was suspended for one season by Major League Baseball for his role in the scandal.

Boston, which ended the 60-game shortened season with a 24-36 record, last in the AL East, decided not to retain manager Ron Roenicke, who replaced Cora in January after serving on his coaching staff.

Cora replaced John Farrell as Boston's manager after the team twice finished last under Farrell, despite winning the 2013 World Series with him.
