😊 — Alex (@ac13alex) April 26, 2026 Cora's sentiment has been consistent in multiple reports. According to MassLive's Chris Cotillo , Cora texted multiple reporters who reached out to him, saying, "I'm Happy. " He also replied to an organization-wide email saying, "The Cora’s will be OK," with a winking face emoji.
The Red Sox were off to a 10-17 start to the season, and it became too slow a start for the organization to stick with the World Series-winning manager. The sentiment around the league seems to be that Cora will have no trouble finding a new job. He was a successful manager with the Red Sox, but something clearly had to change in Boston.
