This update is a brief. We are expanding coverage with additional context and analysis as more details become available.

The Boston Red Sox have fired manager Alex Cora, hitting coach Peter Fatse, bench coach Rámon Vazquez, and game-planning coach Jason Varitek, according to sources via ESPN.

The massive organizational overhaul comes despite the Red Sox winning their game on Saturday. The team has struggled to a 10-17 start this season, leaving them in last place in the American League East. The decision to part ways with Cora and three key members of his staff signals a significant shift for the franchise following their disappointing opening month.

Alex Cora, who famously led the Red Sox to a World Series championship in 2018, is out alongside his primary assistants as the front office looks to move in a new direction. The club has not yet announced interim replacements for the vacated roles or a timeline for a permanent managerial search.

This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
