Every ship needs a captain that can guide its crew through rocky waters. Likewise, a baseball club needs a manager to navigate a grueling schedule while steering the team on the right course to championship glory. The Boston Red Sox felt that while John Farrell was capable of getting this team to test the postseason waters, he was no longer the right fit to guide this crew to their ultimate goal.
This team needs a new leader and it appears they are on the verge of finding one.
According to a report out of Puerto Rico, Alex Cora is considered a lock to become the next manager of the Red Sox.
