"Cora somehow found time to pen an expression of gratitude to the Red Sox organization and fans. 'Thank you for treating me with respect and most importantly accept me as AC,' he wrote. 'I'm grateful for this experience, it made me better.... Thank you for the hard work, sleepless nights, professionalism and effort to help me lead this great organization.'"
"Cora was the Houston Astros bench coach in 2017 when the Dodgers were victimized by a sign-stealing scheme during the World Series, which the Astros won in seven games. MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred released a report in January 2020 that detailed how in 2017 and 2018 the Astros illegally used electronic equipment to steal signs."
