The Boston Red Sox announced the firing of manager Alex Cora and five coaches on Saturday, following a disappointing start to the season that has left the team at the bottom of the American League East with a record of 10-17. Cora, who previously led the team to a franchise-record 108 wins and a World Series title in 2018, struggled to replicate that success with a roster that has seen significant turnover, including the departure of star players like Mookie Betts and Xander Bogaerts. Chad Tracy, who managed the Triple-A Worcester affiliate, has been appointed as the interim manager. The decision comes after a 17-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles, which snapped a four-game losing streak. Alongside Cora, the Red Sox also dismissed five members of the coaching staff, signaling a major shift in the team's direction. Cora's time with the Red Sox has been marked by both success and controversy, including a suspension related to a sign-stealing scandal during his tenure with the Houston Astros. His overall record with the Red Sox stands at 620-541. Owner John Henry expressed gratitude for Cora's contributions to the team and the city, highlighting the difficulty of the decision.
