The final two-plus seasons have been tough for Cora’s squad, as they’ve posted back-to-back 78-84 marks to complete final within the AL East. Boston (75-75) simply must go 4-8 over its remaining dozen video games to surpass the 2022 and 2023 win totals, however the membership is operating out of time to make a playoff push.
Cora signed a three-year contract extension in July and the Pink Sox enter Tuesday 4 video games behind the Minnesota Twins (79-71) for the third and remaining AL wild-card spot.
