Story summary
  • Boston Red Sox fired manager Alex Cora on Saturday after a 12-19 start left the team last.
  • Cora emailed staff, calling Fenway “special and magical,” urging effort and noting they did not finish the job.
  • Cora, under a $21.75 million extension signed July 2024 after a 108-win, 2018 World Series season, declined a Phillies offer from Dave Dombrowski, saying he will not manage in 2026 to be a full-time dad.
