The Boston Red Sox now have manager Alex Cora locked in for the long term, as the two sides agreed to a multiyear contract extension on Wednesday, the team announced.
ESPN's Buster Olney reported the deal is in the range of a three-year contract worth $21.75 million, which makes Cora the second highest-paid skipper in baseball behind Chicago Cubs manager Craig Counsell (five years, $40 million).
