MLB world reacts to the Boston Red Sox parting ways with Alex Cora amid scandal

Alex Cora is out as the manager of the Boston Red Sox.

Alex Cora led the Boston Red Sox to a World Series title in his first year as manager back in 2018.

Now, he is no longer employed by the team.

The Red Sox announced late Tuesday that they have parted ways with Cora due to MLB’s ongoing investigation into the sign-stealing cheating scandal.

This comes a day after MLB suspended Houston Astros GM Jeff Luhnow and manager A.J. Hinch for a year. The team then fired both men later on Monday.

Many have speculated that Cora, who was the bench coach for the Astros in 2017, might face an even stiffer punishment for his role in the scandal with both the Astros and Red Sox.

Here’s the Red Sox statement, which includes a comment from Cora:
