Dan Shaughnessy hits the nail square on the head. "I’m all for shaking things up, and understand that you can’t fire all your players in late April, but put me down as one who did not think Cora was the problem with this Fenway F Troop. It’s the roster. It’s the 26 guys Henry and Breslow gave Cora. That’s the problem. Cora is the same manager who won 119 games for you in 2018. He’s the third-winningest manager in franchise history, a guy who relates to players, knows when the other team is tipping pitches, and is better than most when it comes to situations, matchups, and day-to-day lineups. Cora is not the one who traded Mookie Betts, let Xander Bogaerts walk, and got no players in return for the salary dump of Rafael Devers. Cora’s not the one who spent on the wrong players (Masataka Yoshida, Trevor Story), traded Chris Sale at exactly the wrong time, and pulled away from every big-name free agent last winter. Cora is not the one who failed to give Alex Bregman a no-trade clause, then said, 'If Alex Bregman wanted to be in Boston, he’d be in Boston.' Cora is not the one who promised 'full throttle', then went middle market. Nor is he the one who came up with the snappy slogan of “pitching and run prevention” as the theme of this season. Is it Alex Cora’s fault that a Red Sox third base position once filled by the likes of Frank Malzone, Wade Boggs, Devers, and Bregman is now manned by 5-foot-6-inch Caleb Durbin, he of the .165 batting average and one home run (off a utility player in mop-up duty Saturday)? " The #RedSox are going nowhere this year unless ownership fire Breslow and give his replacement a proper budget and support.
