Over the weekend, the Boston Red Sox made the tough decision to part ways with manager Alex Cora and five other members of the coaching staff. The move aims to spark a turnaround after a difficult beginning to the 2026 season. Cora, in his eighth year leading Boston, became the face of the early struggles — but questions remain about whether the change was the right call at this stage.
The discussion also touched on whether Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow or broader roster and ownership decisions deserve more scrutiny.
Later, the conversation shifted to the New York Mets, who were swept by the Colorado Rockies after snapping a losing streak. If the Mets continue to slide, could manager Carlos Mendoza face a similar fate? The episode also covered Shohei Ohtani’s chances of winning his first Cy Young Award this season, the New York Yankees promoting Jasson DomÃnguez, and a full preview of the latest MLB power rankings.
