The Boston Red Sox fired manager Alex Cora and five members of his coaching staff hours after a 17-1 win over the Baltimore Orioles. Chad Tracy will serve as interim manager starting Sunday. The move comes amid a disappointing start that has the team in last place in the AL East.
BALTIMORE – The Red Sox announced the dismissals Saturday after posting their most lopsided victory of the season, a 17-1 rout of the Orioles at Camden Yards. Boston entered the day with a 10-17 record, having struggled in most areas despite offseason additions like pitchers Sonny Gray and Ranger Suárez. The team had gone 2-8 after their first 10 games and failed to mount an extended winning streak under Cora.
