Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora addressed his one-year MLB suspension in a press conference and said he "deserved" the punishment.
Cora was suspended by Major League Baseball through the end of the 2020 season after the league's investigated the Houston Astros' sign-stealing scandal from the team's 2017 championship run. Cora was a bench coach on that team.
"I was spending time at home for the wrong reasons. I want to apologize," Cora said. "I deserved what happened and I'm not proud of it."
Cora, 45, was re-hired as Red Sox manager on Nov.
