Terry Francona was once Alex Cora’s manager in Boston, but times have certainly changed.
The current Cleveland Indians manager will join Alex Cora’s coaching staff at this season’s All-Star Game in Cleveland on July 9, according to Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe.
Terry Francona told a few of us he will be on Alex Cora’s staff for the All-Star Game in Cleveland. That’s a neat thing given their history and mutual respect.
