Obviously, it&#8217;s going to be a different group next year, but for them to think that they were almost there. I mean, at one point it felt like we were a playoff-caliber team, and then we missed the opportunity. Let\u2019s put it that way. You look around, you look at the teams that are fighting, we had it right there and we blew it,\u201d Cora said of the Red Sox 2024 season, via MLB.com\u2019s Ian Browne on X.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Alex Cora and the Red Sox fell short of the playoffs again<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3048822\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3048822\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3048822\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Alex-Cora.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Alex-Cora.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Alex-Cora.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Alex-Cora.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Alex-Cora.jpg?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Alex-Cora.jpg?resize=150,84 150w\" alt=\"Sep 22, 2024; Boston, Massachusetts, USA; Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora (13) argues his case to umpire Alan Porter (64) during the first inning against the Minnesota Twins at Fenway Park. \" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3048822\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Eric Canha-Imagn Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Boston certainly appeared to be a playoff-caliber team earlier this season.

Additionally, they needed to keep on winning without the services of third baseman\u00a0Rafael Devers, who suffered a season-ending shoulder injury\u00a0Saturday.
