Family First: Alex Cora Declines Manager Jobs
1 May
Summary
- Alex Cora declined the Phillies manager offer to stay home.
- Mets should not consider Cora for their managerial position.
- Cora is spending summer with his children and planning a wedding.
Alex Cora has officially declined an offer to become the manager for the Philadelphia Phillies, choosing to focus on his family. He expressed a desire to be a "full-time dad" and spend the summer with his children, adding that wedding plans for the offseason also make this summer an unsuitable time to start a new job.
This decision means that the New York Mets, who have been experiencing a significant downturn, should also cross Cora off their managerial search list. Despite their struggles and talented roster, the Mets' managerial vacancy will not be filled by Cora, who is prioritizing personal commitments following his departure from the Boston Red Sox.
Cora's decision highlights a strong emphasis on family life, even amidst significant coaching opportunities. The Boston Red Sox recently made a significant change by parting ways with Cora and several coaches, signaling a new direction under chief baseball officer Craig Breslow.
