The Red Sox are sitting in a relatively good position to make the postseason entering Saturday’s game against the Yankees, sitting in one of the American League’s three wild-card spots. But Alex Cora doesn’t want to talk playoff baseball quite yet.
Cora isn’t panicking about the Red Sox’ playoff chances. However, the Red Sox manager believes it’s too soon to be managing games with the postseason in mind.
“I think we should stop talking October, to be honest with you,” Cora told reporters when asked about trying to find the best possible lineup against left-handed pitchers before the playoffs.
