The Boston Red Sox are planning to remove the interim tag from manager Ron Roenicke, giving him the position for the delayed 2020 season.

Joel Sherman of the New York Post reported the news Wednesday, not long after plans for Major League Baseball's punishment for Boston's sign-stealing scandal became public. Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reported the Red Sox were stripped of a 2020 second-round draft pick, while replay operator J.T. Watkins and former manager Alex Cora were banned for the 2020 season.

Cora's punishment came as a result of his involvement with the Houston Astros' cheating scandal.
