Red Sox Clean House: Cora Out, Breslow Takes Full Control

In a significant shake-up, the Boston Red Sox dismissed manager Alex Cora on Saturday night. This decision extends beyond the manager, with several key assistants, including hitting coaches Pete Fatse and Dillon Lawson, and bench coach Ramon Vazquez, also being let go. Game-planning coach Jason Varitek will be reassigned within the organization.

These actions place complete control and responsibility for the team's future squarely on Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow. Breslow, who assumed his role in 2023, has faced scrutiny for failing to elevate the team beyond third place in the AL East. The team made a playoff appearance in 2025 but lost in the ALCW.
