Red Sox manager Alex Cora proving he was the right choice
Ale Cora is having himself a successful year in his first season as the Red Sox Manager. He’s really connecting with the players.
The Boston Red Sox haven’t won a World Series since 2013. After winning the division in back-to-back seasons and getting bounced in the first round they needed a change.
John Farrell wasn’t connecting with the players towards the end of his time as manager. Just like Terry Francona wasn’t at the end of the 2011 season. However, this time beer and chicken in the clubhouse wasn’t involved. There needed to be a change in how the team was run on the field and off. Someone who could connect with the players. Also, to be honest, with the media.
