The Boston Red Sox and manager Alex Cora have engaged in recent talks on a contract extension, and there is momentum toward a deal to end his lame-duck status and keep him in Boston for three years at a total of $21.75 million, sources told ESPN.
Cora, 48, has helped shepherd the Red Sox to a surprising 54-46 record. Boston entered Wednesday only one game behind the Kansas City Royals (56-46) for the final American League wild-card spot.
