Red Sox Fire Cora, Coaches; Shakeup Aims to Spark Offense

0:00On April 28th, the Boston Red Sox just dropped a bombshell, firing manager Alex Cora and a bunch of his coaches after a rough 10 and 17 start to the 20-26 season. That puts them dead last in the American League East. Hitting coach Peter Fatsy, assistant Dylan Lawson, bench coach Ramon Vasquez, third-base coach Kyle Hudson, and hitting strategist Joe Cronin are all. Out. Triple A Skipper Chad Tracy steps in as interim manager with Chad Epperson taking third-base and Colin Hetzler joining the hitters. Owner John Henry put out a classy note thanking Cora for his huge role, especially that epic 2018 World Series run and all the good he's. Done on and off the field. Cora has been with the team since 2018, minus a one-year suspension, posting a 534 winning percentage over 600. 20 wins. Players and fans are stunned, especially since Cora got a three-year extension worth $21.75 million just last year, making him one of the top pay managers.

1:03The offense is ice cold, batting 226 with a 78-weighted runs creative plus, worst in baseball, and only a couple guys like Willier. Abrea are holding up, pitching coaches, Andrew Bailey and Chris Holt stick around, and the staff has talent like Garrett Crochet and Ranger Suarez who should bounce back. Soon, the bullpen sitting at a solid 3.73 ERA with vets like Aroad is Chapman. Early days in the season mean slumps can flip quick, but this shake-up shows the front office wants fresh energy to spark the bats and climb out of the. Basement before it's too late.
