Did the Boston Red Sox jump the gun in firing Manager Alex Cora? Also within this bombshell piece by the WSJ is that the sign-stealing occurred throughout the 2017 season and in parts of the 2018 season. On top of this revelation is the reports that have Major League Baseball’s penalty on the Boston Red Sox are expected to be light ‘with little evidence of cheating“. But based on the WSJ report the firing of Cora by Boston back in early January truly does seem premature. With Cora out of the picture in Boston, the Red Sox are expected to tap 63-year-old veteran coach Ron Roenicke as their new manager.
