ボストン・レッドソックスは、ボルチモア・オリオールズに17対1で勝利した数時間後、アレックス・コーラ監督とコーチングスタッフ5人を解任した。日曜日の試合からはチャド・トレイシーが暫定監督を務める。今回の人事は、チームがア・リーグ東地区で最下位に沈むという期待外れのシーズン序盤を受けてのものとなった。
ボルチモア発 ― レッドソックスは、カムデンヤーズで行われたオリオールズとの試合で今季最大点差となる17対1の快勝を収めた土曜日、スタッフの解任を発表した。ボストンは開幕から10勝17敗と苦戦しており、オフシーズンに投手陣のソニー・グレイやレンジャー・スアレスらを補強したにもかかわらず、投打ともに安定感を欠いていた。チームは最初の10試合で2勝8敗と出遅れ、コーラ監督の下で一度も長い連勝を築くことができなかった。
ボストン・レッドソックスによるコーラ監督とコーチ5人の解任という突然の決定に対し、X（旧Twitter）では驚きの声が広がっている。ファンの間では、フロントの編成の問題を指摘しコーラ監督を擁護する意見が大勢を占める一方、トレバー・ストーリーら選手の不満を示唆する報道や経営陣への批判、さらにはコーラ監督がアストロズ時代に関与したサイン盗み問題を持ち出し、解任を肯定的に捉える声も見られるなど、様々な反応が寄せられている。

Story wants to clear the air with Breslow today. Says “some of the best coaches in the world didn’t get a fair shot.”
What an absolute mess. This is the leader of your team. pic.twitter.com/Gc6lgrbT6N
Alex Cora wasn't the problem with this Red Sox team, writes @Dan_Shaughnessy. It's the 26 guys that John Henry and Craig Breslow gave him. https://t.co/q1mb76dfs2

Alex Cora fired less than halfway into a three-year, $21.75 million deal he negotiated in the summer of 2024. Jason Varitek dumped in April, in his 30th year affiliated with the Red Sox. Other coaches let go. This is unequivocally Craig Breslow's organization.
