Red Sox Fire Manager, Shake Up Coaching Staff

On April 26, Boston Red Sox just dropped a bombshell, firing manager Alex Korra hours

after a blowout 17-1 win over the Baltimore Orioles at Finway Park.

The team started the season at a rough 10-17, prompting the front office to hand the job

to triple A Skipper Chad Tracy as interim manager.

This move stands out because it's so rare.

Last time a Skipper got canned right after a 16-plus run victory was back in 1887.

Even MLB teams don't wait around if results aren't coming, and Boston's pulling no punches

despite their Finway fireworks.

Fans and analysts are buzzing about the timing, but the Red Sox have been scraping the bottom

and key stats like on-base plus slugging and home runs.

Even after big off-season ads, Korra did bring a World Series title in 2018, but his

past includes sign stealing scandals that got imbooted in 2020 before he returned in 2021.

The shake-up went deeper, with the club also letting go hitting coach Peter Fatsy, bench

coach Ramon Basquez, third-base coach Kyle Hudson, and assistant hitting coach Dylan Lawson.

Game-planning coach Jason Veritech, a two-time champ, gets shifted elsewhere in the organization.

As Boston Hunts for stability mid-season slump, this could signal more changes, league-wide

for teams off to slow starts, keeping everyone on their toes.
