Philadelphia PhilliesĀ president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski (who previously held the same title with the Boston Red Sox) said on Tuesday that he offered the team's managerial job to Alex Cora soon after he was fired by Boston on Saturday.
Cora turned down the offer to spend time with his family, but one Red Sox insider believes the 50-year-old will get a chance at the opportunity again over the winter.
"For a moment, I really believed we were going to see Cora in the Phillies dugout this week; his bond with Dombrowski is that strong. And Dombrowski will almost certainly offer Cora the job in the offseason; bench coach Don Mattingly only agreed to serve in the interim," Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald wrote. "If Cora wants the type of environment he had during his first season in , Philly would seem like the most obvious landing spot. He and Dombrowski already know they work well together, and theyād be united with a principal owner whoās obsessed with winning a championship and willing to spend whatever it takes to get the Phillies their third trophy in John Middleton."
