The Boston Red Sox have fired manager Alex Cora and third-base coach Kyle Hudson as part of a massive overhaul of the team's coaching staff, according to reports from Jeff Passan of ESPN.
The decision to move on from Alex Cora comes as a significant surprise given the timing, occurring less than a month into the 2026 MLB season. Cora was let go despite having nearly two years remaining on his current contract. The dismissal of Kyle Hudson further confirms that the Red Sox are pursuing wholesale changes to their field staff following a difficult start to the year.
According to sources, the Boston front office is looking to restructure the team's leadership group immediately. The move marks the end of Cora's high-profile tenure with the club, which famously included a World Series title in 2018. The Red Sox have not yet announced who will take over managerial duties on an interim basis or if further staff members will be relieved of their duties in the coming hours.
