Red Sox fire manager over cheating scandal
Now, let’s turn to the controversy stemming from that World Series cheating scandal. The Red Sox have fired their manager, Alex Cora, who helped both the Houston Astros and the Red Sox win championships. Johnson joins us this morning with the latest updates. There has been another major development in the Major League Baseball cheating scandal, one that has directly impacted Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora. Cora helped lead the team to a World Series victory in 2018, but now he has lost his job. The Sox, in conjunction with Cora, have issued a joint statement announcing that they are parting ways by mutual consent.
The team further stated, “We have mutually decided that it is no longer possible for Alex to effectively lead the club going forward.” Before heading to Boston, Cora served as the bench coach for the Houston Astros during their 2017 World Series-winning season. The league concluded that during that championship season, the Astros installed a camera in the outfield stands to capture the catcher’s signals, and then relayed that information to the batter by banging on a trash can. Listen to this. Both the Astros’ manager and GM were fired this week, but the Commissioner’s report identifies Cora as the potential mastermind behind this scheme.
The report states that Cora was involved in both deciphering the signals—devising the plan to bang on the trash can to relay them—and utilizing the replay review room. I think that when you read what Rob Manfred wrote regarding Cora’s involvement with the Houston Astros, and then you connect that to the allegations facing the Boston Red Sox, it seems clear that both the Red Sox organization and Cora had a pretty good idea of what was coming next. Alex Cora issued a statement saying that he did not want to become a distraction of any kind for the team. He described Boston as a “special place” and said that he would miss it dearly.
However, the investigation into the Boston Red Sox is still ongoing, and the team itself is now bracing for potential penalties. Michael, I know that their opponents are also quite upset about this matter. Thank you very much. Hello, everyone—I’m George Stephanopoulos.
