Jose Alexander Cora[1] (born October 18, 1975) is a Puerto Rican baseball manager and former infielder who is the manager of the Boston Red Sox in Major League Baseball (MLB). He previously played in MLB for 14 seasons with the Red Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers, Cleveland Indians, New York Mets, Texas Rangers, and Washington Nationals. After retiring as a player, Cora served as the bench coach for the Houston Astros when they won their first World Series title in 2017. Cora was named Boston's manager the following season, winning a franchise-best 108 games and leading the team to victory in the 2018 World Series. He is the fifth MLB manager to win the World Series in his first season and the first Puerto Rican manager of a World Series-winning team.[2]
Following the 2019 season, Cora was implicated in a sign-stealing scandal during his time with Astros.[3] Amid an investigation to determine if he took part in another sign-stealing scandal with the Red Sox,[4] Cora and the Red Sox mutually agreed to part ways before the 2020 season.[5] Cora was subsequently suspended through the 2020 playoffs for his role in the Astros' scandal.[6] After his suspension ended, he returned to the Red Sox as their manager.[7]
