The Boston Red Sox have seen a resurgence under manager Alex Cora, who has led the team to a wild-card spot despite numerous challenges, including key player injuries and an imbalanced roster. Cora's leadership has drawn comparisons to a masterful improviser, making the team competitive with limited resources. With his contract set to expire, there is speculation about his future, particularly given the Yankees' struggles and potential managerial changes. The Yankees, amid a significant collapse, might pursue Cora, who could command a record salary if he reaches free agency. Despite the team's success, Cora has been non-committal about his future, emphasizing his focus on the current season.
