Cora in mix for Sox manager, but no decision

Astros bench coach Alex Cora has been linked to a number of open managerial jobs in recent weeks, and a report emerged Thursday saying that he could be named manager of the Red Sox as early as the conclusion of the American League Championship Series. And although Boston president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski confirmed the team hasn’t made a final decision on its next manager, there are still indications that Cora would end up with the job.
