The Boston Red Sox fired manager Alex Cora on Sunday and announced the dismissal of several coaches after a rocky start to the 2026 season. Team president Sam Kennedy informed Cora by email, Cora replied overnight, and general manager Craig Breslow delivered the club's explanation to the roster. Shortstop Trevor Story called Breslow's explanation unsatisfactory and said he will demand a meeting before today's game, a public sign of player frustration during a midseason reset that could reshape the franchise's clubhouse and playoff hopes.
