Summary

WEEI presents a collection of Monday's biggest Red Sox discussions following the firing of manager Alex Cora. From The Greg Hill Show, Jones & Keefe, and Rich & Ken with Ted Johnson, we break down the apparent power struggle between Cora and Craig Breslow. Was Cora the scapegoat for a bad roster, or was he actively working against the front office? Plus, a look at the awkward 17-1 win in Baltimore and the "hostage video" press conference that followed. That and more on Best Of Red Sox on WEEI!

And he's been to one World Series. He's been to two LCSs, and he had a very serious

cheating scandal that he was fired over dating back to his days with the Astros.

1:11.5

But he's good at his job as being front-facing.

1:14.6

He's a very charismatic, a guy that is easy to like.
