- Beckett, who played seven seasons with Boston and was part of the 2007 World Series team, expressed that Cora was the ideal coach to stabilize the Red Sox amid the challenges of a long season.
- The Red Sox currently hold a 12-19 record, last in the AL East, with fans blaming ownership, as evidenced by a banner flown over Fenway Park calling for the firing of chief baseball officer Craig Breslow and owner John Henry.
