Red Sox Manager Alex Cora Addresses Trade Rumors Ahead of Deadline
With the Major League Baseball (MLB) trade deadline looming on Thursday at 6 p.m. EST, speculation is running high, and the Boston Red Sox are among the teams being speculated about. In the midst of this frenzy, Red Sox manager Alex Cora has offered some advice to his players.
Cora, who began his coaching journey with the Astros in 2017 after a 14-season career as a player that included parts of two seasons with the Mets, has first-hand experience with the intricacies of the game. He has advised his players to not be overly concerned about trade rumors and to block out inaccurate information on social media platforms.
The Red Sox manager's comments come after he shared stories about ESPN, implying that false trade information has been circulated. When asked if people at ESPN, where he worked as a baseball analyst, fabricated trade rumors, Cora replied he does not want to incriminate anyone. He did, however, clarify his comments, stating he has stories about the inaccuracy of trade rumors.
Cora also acknowledged that trade speculation is a big topic due to its influence on the sport. He criticized the coverage of one network without specifying which one. Despite the interest in trade speculation, Cora advised his players not to believe everything they hear about potential trades and not to read too much about them.
Cora's coaching career reached new heights in 2018 when he led the Red Sox to a World Series win. As the trade deadline approaches, he is reminding his players to stay focused on the game and not to be swayed by the speculation that surrounds it.
Trade deadline speculation is at its peak among fans and media, with the Red Sox being one of the teams under the spotlight. Cora's comments about trade rumors were made before the Red Sox beat the Dodgers 4-3 at Fenway Park. As the deadline draws near, the Red Sox and their fans will be eagerly awaiting any developments.
