Alex Cora, manager of the Boston Red Sox, may face disciplinary action from Major League Baseball after suggesting that his team deliberately threw at Yankees star Aaron Judge during a recent game. This comment followed an incident where Yankees pitcher Gerrit Cole hit Red Sox player Rafael Devers, leading to tensions between the teams.
After the game, Cora expressed his frustration with Cole's actions, stating that the intentional walk showed a lack of willingness to face Devers. MLB is reportedly investigating his remarks regarding the situation.
Despite the conflict, Judge maintained composure after the Yankees' victory, indicating that such incidents occur in baseball and suggesting that teams are merely protecting their players.
As the Red Sox fall further behind in the Wild Card race, Cora's team prepares for a series against the Tampa Bay Rays.
