Yankees fans are going to have to deal with Alex Cora again in 2021 and beyond, and the Red Sox have no shame.

The Boston Red Sox have done the thing we all expected them to do since the very day they hired his replacement, and Alex Cora is officially back as the team’s manager after a 60-game hiatus as of Friday morning.
