Alex Cora
Definition
Alex Cora (born José Alexander Cora, October 18, 1975) is a Puerto Rican former professional baseball infielder and manager, best known for leading the Boston Red Sox to a World Series championship in 2018.
Cora was suspended for the 2020 season due to his role in the Houston Astros' sign-stealing scandal while serving as their bench coach, but returned to manage the Red Sox in 2021.
In April 2026, following a disappointing 10-17 start to the season, the Boston Red Sox fired Cora along with several coaches.
