Cora Should Skip the Dugout and Aim for the Front Office

Sports Illustrated argues that Alex Cora should move upstairs into a front-office role rather than returning to the dugout, given the Red Sox payout looming over him and the uncertain conditions at potential destinations like the Phillies and Mets; with many top teams unlikely to make a change and Cora's involvement in the Houston scandal slowing potential fits, the piece suggests he survey the league and turn down immediate managerial offers for now.

Red Sox Dismiss Cora, Sparking Heat on Five MLB Managers

The Boston Red Sox fired manager Alex Cora after a 17-1 blowout win, leaving the team 10-17 and in last place in the AL East despite his earlier success. The move is part of a broader wave of managerial pressure around MLB, with five managers—Carlos Mendoza (Mets), Rob Thomson (Phillies), Joe Espada (Astros), Dan Wilson (Mariners) and Tony Vitello (Giants)—seen as at risk due to underperformance, contract situations, or organizational expectations.

Payroll Blues Sweep Five Big-Market Clubs in 2026

The Mets aren’t alone in a payroll-fueled slump: Phillies, Blue Jays, Red Sox, and Astros join them in underperforming, with a combined 43-74 through Tuesday, making them early contenders for the season’s biggest disappointment. The piece argues the blame lies more with front-office architects (Stearns, Dombrowski, Brown, Atkins, Breslow) than managers, though ownership influence and continued pressure on Mendoza, Thomson and Espada—despite notable extensions and resumes—complicate the path forward for these high-profile clubs.

High Payroll, Higher Pressure: Mets, Phillies, Astros Under Managerial Scrutiny

A trio of high-spending MLB clubs—Mets, Phillies, and Astros—are under increased scrutiny as their on-field struggles raise the specter of in-season managerial changes. The piece argues that while firings aren’t guaranteed, owners in New York, Philadelphia, and Houston may feel compelled to act if rosters underperform, given the heavy payrolls and elevated expectations. Mendoza, Thomson, and Espada each face mounting pressure amid injuries, aging stars, and roster rebuilding challenges, with past examples suggesting that quick midseason moves can backfire or pay off depending on leadership and player performance.
