Episode 308: Alex Cora Is Fired (feat. Jeff Passan)




Section 10 Podcast show

Summary: Welp, this has been an awful week. The results from MLB's investigation into the Astros' sign-stealing scandal have concluded and Alex Cora came out looking worse than anyone else sadly. This led to his firing in Boston, so that is naturally our main talking point. Today we discuss how weird it is that the players involved in this situation are getting off clean, how Cora would not have been fired if the Houston scenario didn't take place, how funny it is that Yankee fans are acting like their team will be innocent in all of this, Evan Drellich needing to do his job and dig deeper with teams he doesn't happen to have all of the sources for, and how surprised we were at the amount of fans that threw Cora to the curb for what happened in Houston and not Boston. We then talk with ESPN's Jeff Passan for his take on this whole fiasco as he has been in the middle of all of these reports. And we wrap this tough one out with our predictions for who will be the next manager of the Boston Red Sox.
