Why Alex Cora Didn’t Want a Five-Year Extension With the Red Sox is Disclosed
According to WEEI’s Rob Bradford, the Boston Red Sox signed manager Alex Cora to a three-year contract extension last week, but it could have been longer.
During Wednesday’s episode of “Jones & Mego with Archand” on WEEI, Cora outlined his reasoning for choosing the shorter contract.
“The young men. The brothers have seven years old. They recently turned seven years old. Cora mentioned his twin twins and remarked, “They’re going to be 10 in three years. “We have no idea where we will end up. That is the most crucial factor. As I mentioned before, a lot has changed with me over the course of the year, including the way we conduct business.
as well as at home. You watch the children playing soccer and baseball. Since school starts the next week, they are traveling home on Friday, so I’m actually sticking back today.”
Cora expressed his need for family security to Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow during their extension negotiations.
“I believe that the family’s five-year commitment was excessive. In three years, we have no idea what will transpire,” Cora remarked. “Although we would really like to be here, I believe that the Cora-Felicianos are ultimately my best team—I’ve said this all along. That is how things really are. I’m telling you, those boys are good for us and our lives. I am emotional when I talk about that.
