The Boston Red Sox have had a disastrous offseason to say the very least. Things may have reached a peak in recent days as the team announced Tuesday night that they would be parting ways with manager Alex Cora.
Cora’s involvement in the Astros’ 2017 sign-stealing via video camera/trash can combo and subsequent use of the replay room for the same purpose with the Red Sox in 2018 (not nearly as bad as what happened in Houston but still not allowed by MLB) has put him in a position to be severely punished.
It is technically not a year-long suspension for Jeff Luhnow and AJ Hinch.
