The Red Sox told Roenicke before the final game of the season on Sunday that he will not be back in 2021, ending his tenure as a one-year, shotgun stopgap for a pandemic-shortened season with a last-place finish in the AL East. It’s baseball,” Roenicke said after the Red Sox beat Atlanta 9-1 to wind up 24-36. The Red Sox went on to win the finale; afterward, the team said their goodbyes in the visitor's clubhouse. With Cora gone, the Red Sox promoted Roenicke from bench coach to interim manager. They removed the temporary tag in April, during the coronavirus shutdown, when Roenicke was cleared in the commissioner’s investigation into sign-stealing by the Red Sox during their championship season.
