The Boston Red Sox recently extended manager Alex Cora’s contract for three more years, though it could have been longer, according to WEEI’s Rob Bradford. Cora explained on WEEI’s “Jones & Mego with Arcand” that he chose the shorter term due to family considerations, specifically his twin sons who just turned seven. Cora emphasized the uncertainty of the future and his desire to prioritize his family.
During extension talks with Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow, Cora stressed the importance of family security. He mentioned that a five-year commitment felt excessive given the unpredictability of the next few years. Cora’s primary focus remains on his family, the Cora-Felicianos, highlighting the significance of his sons in his life and decision-making.
