Multiple reports indicate that
the Red Sox will name current Astros bench coach Alex Cora to be their new manager. The announcement could come as soon as this weekend—at the conclusion of the ALCS. If the Astros advance to the World Series (
and, if there is any justice in the world, they will), then the formal
in-person announcement may need to wait until the conclusion of
The Fall Classic. While Red Sox President of Baseball Operations
Dave Dombrowski issued a statement late Thursday that no decision had yet been made, it's pretty clear that Cora will be the next skipper of
The Carmine Hose.
