 Alex Cora fired as Red Sox manager amid last-place AL East slump, Chad Tracy named interim replacement

  

 Alex Cora has been fired as manager of the Boston Red Sox as the team sits in last place in the American League East, ending a turbulent second tenure that followed both historic success and years of roster turnover.

Cora, who played on Boston’s 2007 World Series championship team and later guided the club to a franchise-record 108 wins and a title in 2018, will be replaced on an interim basis by Chad Tracy, who had been managing the team’s Triple-A affiliate in Worcester. The organization also announced several changes to the major league coaching staff, including departures of multiple assistants and coordinators, as part of a broader shakeup.

In a statement, team ownership acknowledged Cora’s impact on the franchise, crediting him with one of the most successful seasons in team history and noting his contributions both on and off the field. The move comes after a 10-17 start, with Boston recently snapping a losing streak with a lopsided win in Baltimore but still mired near the bottom of the division.

Cora’s managerial career in Boston has been marked by dramatic highs and lows. In his first season in 2018, he led a star-studded roster featuring Mookie Betts, Xander Bogaerts, Rafael Devers, and Chris Sale to a dominant regular season and a championship run that included playoff victories over the Yankees and Astros before defeating the Dodgers in the World Series.

The following season ended in disappointment, and he later stepped away from the job after being implicated in an investigation into sign-stealing during his time with another organization. After serving a suspension, he eventually returned to Boston, where he inherited a very different roster following major departures and salary-driven moves that dismantled the core of the championship team.

Since his return, the Red Sox have shown inconsistency, including playoff appearances mixed with last-place finishes and early postseason exits. Several cornerstone players from the championship era have since left the organization, while others were traded or not retained, reshaping the roster around younger or less established talent.

Cora finishes his Boston managerial stint with a 620-541 record.

Chad Tracy, who takes over in an interim role, had success managing at the Triple-A level in Worcester, where he led the club to multiple winning seasons. A former minor league player and college standout, he now steps into his first major league managerial opportunity as the Red Sox attempt to stabilize their season.

Additional coaching changes include reassignments and departures across hitting and bench staff roles, as the organization resets its major league leadership structure in response to the team’s early struggles.
