The\u00a0Boston Red Sox\u00a0have not made the playoffs since 2021 and have officially been eliminated from postseason contention for the third straight season. With the high standards the Red Sox organization sets, their failure to play October baseball in recent history has caused manager Alex Cora’s approval rating to drop among Boston fans.<\/p>\n

Even when the Red Sox were four games out of the last American League Wild Card spot, Cora was remaining optimistic about making a magical run. He even claimed that Gerrit Cole of the\u00a0Yankees\u00a0would be to thank for getting them going if Boston was to make the postseason.<\/p>\n

Even if this was merely an attempt to motivate his players, these remarks from Cora brought him a lot of negative attention. Now that the Red Sox will officially miss the playoffs in 2024, Cora has to accept reality.<\/p>\n

After the Red Sox lost to the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday and saw their playoff dreams vanish, you may be wondering what Alex Cora had to say to his team. Believe it or not, he actually didn’t have anything to say at all.<\/p>\n
