Breaking: Red Sox part ways with manager Alex Cora amid sign-stealing scandal

Alex Cora, who won the World Series in 2018 in his debut season as manager of the Boston Red Sox but has been linked this offseason to two sign-stealing schemes, has mutually agreed to part ways with the team.

In a statement released Tuesday, the Red Sox said given MLB’s findings in the investigation into the Astros’ sign-stealing “we collectively decided that it would not be possible for Alex to effectively lead the club going forward.”

Cora, 44, led the Red Sox past the Los Angeles Dodgers in five games in 2018, a year removed from winning the World Series in Houston as Astros bench coach.

He is awaiting discipline from MLB for his role in a sign-stealing scheme by the Astros, and is still under investigation for a different sign-stealing scheme that is said to have occurred with the Red Sox in 2018.
