	Description:		The Boston Red Sox fire manager Alex Cora, in a stunning early-season move. Buster Olney and Rob Bradford (WEEI, Baseball Isn't Boring) discuss the timing of the firing, how it went down, the power struggle with GM Craig Breslow, what the Red Sox are losing in Cora, John Henry's disappearing act, and when they think we'll see Cora managing again. Then, ESPN's Jesse Rogers stops by to talk about what kind of impact new Red Sox manager Chad Tracy can have on the lineup, Breslow's leadership style, the Chicago Cubs coming off a ten-game winning streak, and Pete Crow-Armstrong searching for his superstar form. 0:00 Welcome 0:30 Rob Bradford (WEEI, Baseball Isn't Boring) 0:53 Boston Red Sox fire Alex Cora 4:21 Power struggle between Cora and GM Craig Breslow 10:05 Who's to blame in all of this 13:24 John Henry's stewardship as owner 15:41 When will we see Cora back in the dugout? 17:56 Can new Red Sox manager Chad Tracy unlock the lineup? 19:49 Breslow's leadership style 24:09 NL East 27:23 Chicago Cubs 30:56 Pete Crow-Armstrong maturing on the field 35:07 Bleacher Tweets CALL THE SHOW: 406-404-8460 EMAIL THE SHOW: BleacherTweets@gmail.com REACH OUT ON X: #BLEACHERTWEETS Follow The Baseball Tonight Podcast on… YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHeL6O-A-ASmSMwbSCFvPKEq1Cslo_lrw Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5FG6xCcd338SgZjZ9urHRI Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/baseball-tonight-with-buster-olney/id137699414 Learn more about your ad choices.
