Cora sent the email Wednesday after being dismissed Saturday night amid a poor 2026 start, with the team last in the AL East and Chad Tracy named interim manager.
Cora, who won the 2018 World Series with Boston and signed a three-year extension in 2024, expressed disappointment but respect for the organization’s direction.
