Phillies Confident in Cora as 2027 Manager

Though Alex Cora recently declined an offer to manage the Philadelphia Phillies after being fired by the Boston Red Sox, the team remains confident he will be their manager in 2027. According to USA Today's Bob Nightengale, the Phillies believe Cora will join them despite expected interest from other teams like the Houston Astros and New York Mets.

Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski, who previously worked with Cora in Boston, praised the manager despite the rejection. 'Alex Cora is one of the finest managers in the game of baseball,' Dombrowski said, noting Cora is taking time with his family after being let go by the Red Sox. fishroad-app.com
