There was a symmetry between Boone and Cora, even though Cora didn't manage in 2020, because remember, he got fired slash suspended for his role in the Astros cheating scandal and less to do with being the manager of the 18th team that was also accused of some kinds of sign stealing shenanigans.

So he didn't manage for the full run, but remember, he was hired a few

weeks before the Yankees hired Aaron Boone. So naturally, there's been a lot of comparisons between

these two guys going all the way back to 2018. And as you mentioned earlier, the only manager in the

American League who has a longer history, or at least is longer tenured, is Kevin Cash, who got the job in Tampa all the way back in 2015, which is crazy to think about. And he is actually... I mean, it's only a decade, like 11 years. It is. It's only 11 years, which doesn't seem that long, but in baseball, it is that long. And he is the longest tenure manager in baseball, because Dave Roberts got his job one year later in 2016.

And Tori Lavello with the Diamondbacks got his job in 2017.

So those are some of the longest tenured managers in the sport.

But there's been like this link between Boone and Cora.

So as a Yankee fan, Sean, is there any satisfaction, any spiking of the football

that Boone has outlasted him and that the Yankees in a lot of ways broke the Red Sox with the three-game sweep from earlier that last week? That part, their satisfaction. I have no ill will towards Aaron Boone at all. And to be honest with you, I completely forgot that they were even hired in the same cycle. So I don't even compare the minute. No, I mean Boone, like when he was saying, like, the idea of Boone was hired the same cycle.

Oh, I got it.

Like that part doesn't bother me. They were hired in the same cycle. The Red Sox got Cora. But the idea that the Yankees ended that, the Yankees swept them and embarrassed them and made the Red Sox more so make the embarrassing decision to fire Alex Cora more so than it.

Because in the end, once Alex Cora more so than it.

Because in the end, once Alex Cora goes wherever he's going, the Yankees still get to look at the corpse of the Red Sox and laugh at them. And that's what I understand. And we'll see what the Red Sox do. I know they've won a couple of games since Cora's been canned. He scored a ton of runs. He got fired. It got fired.

Which shows you that these decisions to fire managers

happen the day before games.

Yeah.

Like,

Willie Randolph got fired. It got fired. Which shows you that these decisions to fire managers happen the day before games. Yeah. Like, Willie Randolph got fired after a win. People forget that. It wasn't anything about the win, just like it wasn't anything about Corr's team scoring 17 runs. It's like the decision is made, and then you wait a day or a few hours for things to be finalized and then you fire him.

Right. But I think your greatest satisfaction should be the Boston Red Sox, in all likelihood,

we're prognosticating here, are in a worse place today than they were 72 hours ago.

Chad Tracy and wherever they go in the future is probably not as good as what Alex Cora did
