nolongtime manager Alex Cora has officially announced his departure from the Boston Red Sox. The unexpected news broke just hours after the team’s latest win, casting a sudden shadow over what had been a promising stretch for the club. According to team sources, Cora is stepping down to pursue a new opportunity outside the organization, though specific details have yet to be revealed.
A Sudden Goodbye
Flanked by Red Sox front office personnel during an emotional press conference, Cora addressed the media and fans, saying, “This has been one of the hardest decisions of my life. Boston is home to me, and this team is family. But sometimes, the next chapter comes calling when you least expect it.”
The 48-year-old Puerto Rican skipper did not elaborate on what the “new opportunity” entails, but he emphasized that it was something he “couldn’t pass up.” Speculation is already swirling, with some insiders suggesting a front office role with another MLB team or even a position outside of baseball altogether
