The Boston Red Sox sure knew what they were doing when they hired Alex Cora as their manager after the 2017 season. They also sure knew what they were doing when they brought him back after MLB suspended him for the 2020 season after discovering his involvement in the Houston Astros' cheating scandal. This guy is the absolute worst manager to have on the other side of the rivalry.
New York Yankees fans can't think of a more insufferable figurehead. From telling the Yankees to "suck on it" after Boston won the 2018 World Series (with some shady tactics) to somehow being credited as a managerial "wizard" despite just three playoff appearances in seven seasons and just two campaigns with 92 or more wins, Cora's reputation very much feels artificial and unearned.
