The Boston Red Sox were unexpectedly thrown into a managerial search when Alex Cora was fired Tuesday following MLB's investigation into the Houston Astros illegally stealing signs beginning with their 2017 World Series run.
According to MLB Network's Jon Heyman, the Red Sox "have shown interest" in New York Mets bench coach Hensley Meulens. Heyman noted Meulens is "presumably" also a candidate for the Mets' newly vacant manager position after Carlos Beltran was ousted Thursday.
Cora served as the Astros' bench coach in 2017, while Beltran played for the team.
