The Boston Red Sox have made some managerial decisions in 2025 that have adversely affected the clubhouse, particularly a stud rookie.

Responding to that call, Red Sox insider Chris Cotillo of MassLive issued a clear assessment of Cora's job security at this point. "Eight weeks into a three year contract," Cotillo wrote. "He's not on the hot seat as of now."

Red Sox starter Brayan Bello had an extended conversation with manager Alex Cora in the dugout after he lasted only four innings in his last start Friday vs. the Orioles.
