Analysis Summary
The Red Sox fired manager Alex Cora and four coaches after starting 10-17 and falling into last place in the AL East, less than a month into the season. Triple-A manager Chad Tracy will take over as interim manager. Multiple sources confirm this represents a rare midseason housecleaning by Boston ownership, though analysts note the roster composition—not Cora—was the core problem.
