It's April 29th, on Cori with the story. This is MLB News Today, driven by AI and built for baseball fans. The Boston Red Sox started the season with big hopes, but crashed hard, sitting at 12 wins and 17 losses after 29 games, dead last. In the American League East, front-off has had enough and fired manager Alex Cora plus a bunch of coaches to shake things up. Earlier this week, the Philadelphia Phillies dumped their manager Rob Thompson and straight up offered Cora the gig. He turned it down, saying he wants to chill with family through the summer after the Red Sox acts. Players on the team are straighter frustrated with how the franchise is rolling right now, and even some ex Red Sox are speaking out about the mess. Chad Tracy, their 40-year-old AA skipper, who's already been bumped up this year, looks like the top pick for Interum and may be long-term. Other names floating are Brandon Hyde, who rebuilt the Orioles before getting canned and Thompson himself if he shops around later. Tracy's got months to show he can turn the ship around, keeping eyes on the playoffs

while the front-off has plots the next big move.
