Alex Cora was hired today as the next manager of the Boston Red Sox. Shank
devotes a column to it:
A Red Sox fan’s dilemma: Does the return of Alex Cora make you happy or disappointed?
The Red Sox are bringing back Alex Cora to manage for the 2021 season.
How does this make you feel?
Just a reminder - Shank was on both sides of this one.
The Sox made it official Friday, anointing Cora as the 49th manager in team history.
As a Red Sox fan, does this make you happy or disappointed?
It’s been almost six weeks since the Sox fired Ron Roenicke after an uninspired, underperforming team finished in last place in the 60-game pandemic summer of 2020. In this span, Boston baseball boss Chaim Bloom has interviewed at least nine candidates, including Cora. None of the others were former big league managers. None of them were Alex Cora.
From there he goes on in that vein, with nary a hint of prior (dis)agreement.
...
Here’s hoping they play it straight. The Red Sox should just come out and tell everyone, "We believe in second chances. Alex Cora is our guy. He was our guy all along.''
Just say it, live with it, and move forward.
How long do you think the first serious losing streak of Cora's 2021 Red Sox season will need to be before Shank changes his tune once again?
