If MLB's investigation reveals the Red Sox committed acts as serious as the Astros and the team is heavily fined with the loss of draft picks, they may have no choice but to start unloading players, USA TODAY Sports' Bob Nightengale writes.
The Red Sox ownership group heaped lavish praise on Cora throughout the press conference, saying they will “miss his passion, energy, sense of humor, and the way he cared about the entire organization.’’
“It’s important to recognize this mutual decision,’’ Kennedy said, “was related to incidents in Houston.’’If the Red Sox ownership truly doesn't know whether Cora and its own players cheated – particularly considering their love for Cora – why wouldn’t they have waited? And if Cora admitted to cheating, there was no reason for the Red Sox to completely hide behind Manfred’s directive.
Or maybe they were taking a page out of Astros owner Jim Crane’s handbook when he was said their 2017 World Series title was"absolutely not" tainted.For now, they are telling their fans to sit tight, prepare for a season more resembling 2018 than the 84-win team of 2019.Said Red Sox chairman Tom Werner: “We obviously underperformed last year. We have every expectation that we’ll be competitive. I don’t consider us in a hole.
