It's May 1st. This is Boston Red Sox News Today, Team News powered by AI. Alex Korra got the boot from the Boston Red Sox on April 26 after backing his coaches in a standoff with the front office. The 50-year-old manager, known as AC around baseball, showed his class by thanking the team and fans in a heartfelt note, even as report surfaced. About his ultimatum to GM Craig Breslow last season. Earlier this week, the Phillies came calling quick with a manager job offer, but Korra turned it down flat. They came right after they fired their own skipper, and it was tempting since Phillies exact Dave Dumbbrowski worked with him before on that 20. 18 World Series Win Korra's rep took a hit from the 2017 Astro's Sign Stealing Mass, where he helped set it up as bench coach, beating the Dodgers in the fall. Sick. Classic. He got suspended by MLB, fired from Boston, but came back strong, apologizing to ex-Dodgers like Kenley Jansen, who said it lifted a huge weight off.
Him. Meanwhile, Breslow clean house, firing Korra and five coaches, despite Korra's stand to go down with him. Korra's putting family first now, chilling in Puerto Rico with his fiance, an eight-year-old twin boys, Xander and a sander, while still owed 14, million through 2027. With a solid 620 wins against 541 losses, Korra's primed for another gig. Times like the Phillies might circle back after the season, and his communication skills and cool under fire make him a hot commodity no doubt.
