Red Sox weigh five managerial contenders after Cora’s exit
Boston fired Alex Cora after a 10-17 start left them last in the AL East, and interim manager Chad Tracy leads a short list of five candidates for the permanent gig: Tracy, Rocco Baldelli, Ryan Flaherty, Brandon Hyde and Brad Ausmus. Tracy is favored to seal the job if he steadies the team, but Boston could pursue a broader search in the offseason, depending on how the remainder of the season unfolds.
