New Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora and a contingent from the team flew to Puerto Rico on Tuesday to deliver 10 tons of supplies to help with the Hurricane Maria recovery effort.
Cora, who is from Puerto Rico, was joined on the trip by Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh, Red Sox pitcher Rick Porcello, team president Sam Kennedy, and assistant general manager Eddie Romero, to bring in medical supplies, water filtration systems, food and other equipment.
"While many areas have recovered from the initial devastation of the storm, there is still a great need on the island for relief," Cora said.
