The Boston Red Sox made a shocking move to fire Alex Cora and several other members of the coaching staff on Saturday, and Cora sent a simple one-word message on social media afterward.

"Happy!" Cora wrote on X with a smiling face emoji.

Cora's sentiment has been consistent in multiple reports. According to MassLive's Chris Cotillo, Cora texted multiple reporters who reached out to him, saying, "I'm Happy." He also replied to an organization-wide email saying, "The Cora’s will be OK," with a winking face emoji.

The Red Sox were off to a 10-17 start to the season, and it became too slow a start for the organization to stick with the World Series-winning manager.

The sentiment around the league seems to be that Cora will have no trouble finding a new job. He was a successful manager with the Red Sox, but something clearly had to change in Boston. Some players are not pleased with the decision, but it is the decision that Craig Breslow and company made.

Now, Chad Tracy will take over as the interim manager and hopes to turn things around for the Red Sox. They have a talented roster, and have time to get on track.
