The Boston Red Sox are in talks with manager Alex Cora about a lucrative, long-term contract extension, ESPN reported Wednesday.
The deal is reportedly in the range of three years for $21.75 million, which would mark the second-highest salary for an MLB skipper behind Craig Counsell’s five-year, $40 million contract with the Chicago Cubs.
The Red Sox (54-46) entered Wednesday’s road game against the Colorado Rockies six games out of first place in the American League East and one game out of a wild-card spot.
Cora, 48, has compiled a record of 494-416 with Boston. The Red Sox won the World Series in his first season in 2018, but he was fired before the 2020 season in fallout from the Houston Astros’ 2017 sign-stealing scandal. He returned to the Boston bench in 2021.
Cora’s current contract is set to expire after this season.
