Alex Cora Weighs Offers, Avoids Sinking Ships
About this episode
Alex Cora, a free agent manager, is weighing his options after his successful stint with the Boston Red Sox. Despite the Red Sox still owing him a significant sum and a World Series ring, hes not in a hurry to commit. Teams like the Phillies and Mets, with massive payrolls and underperforming, are not appealing options. Cora has ties to both teams, but their struggling lineups and injuries make them unattractive. Perennial contenders have their guys locked in, rebuilders are committed, and Houston is off the table due to a scandal. Cora is wisely waiting for a real contender spot.

On April 28th, Alex Korra is out there as a free agent manager after his Boston Stint and with the Red Sox still owing him over $10 million. Plus that shiny 2018 World Series ring, he ain't rushing into anything. Teams like the Phillies and Metz are stumbling hard. Philadelphia is 9-19. New York's got the worst offense in baseball and fans are. Screaming for heads to roll despite massive payrolls over $282 million and $355 million. But Korra's got ties. The Phillies' Dave Dombrovsky hired him back in Boston and Metz star Francisco Lindor shares his Puerto Rican roots from Coguas. Going way back? Still, those lineups are creaky. Rotations are blowing up with a 5.8-0 ERA in Philly and injuries like Lindor's calf strain have. Everyone limping. Why jump on another sinking ship? Perennial contenders got their guys locked in. Rebuilders are committed and Houston's a no-go after that scandal. Korra's smart enough to survey it all and just sit tight for a real contender spot. That's your update from MLB News Today, powered by AI. I'm Korri with the story.
