Alex Cora reportedly won’t be the next manager of the Philadelphia Phillies.<\/p>\n

According to USA Today’s Bob Nightengale<\/a>, Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski spoke to Cora about becoming the team’s new manager. Cora revealed that he’s taking the 2027 season off, though.<\/p>\n

He was previously offered Philadelphia’s manager role in April and declined it to spend the rest of the summer with his family, per Nightengale.<\/p>\n

Cora opened the 2026 season as manager of the Boston Red Sox, but was fired<\/a> after the team started with a disappointing 10-17 record.<\/p>\n

The Phillies also made an early manager change during their 2026 campaign, parting ways<\/a> with Rob Thomson after a 9-13 start to the year.<\/p>\n

Don Mattingly served as Philadelphia’s interim manager for the remainder of the season, as the team finished with an 88-74 record and made a playoff appearance. The Phillies were ultimately eliminated from the postseason by the Atlanta Braves during their National League Wild Card Series matchup.<\/p>\n

Mattingly has expressed interest<\/a> in remaining Philadelphia’s manager beyond the 2026 season, although the team has yet to make a decision regarding his future.<\/p>\n

The Phillies’ interest in Cora is understandable, as Dombrowski previously spent time with him in Boston from 2018-19.<\/p>\n

Cora compiled a 620-541 overall record with the Red Sox, helping them make four postseason appearances in his first seven years as a member of the club. This included a 2018 campaign in which Boston captured its ninth World Series title.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alex Cora reportedly won’t be the next manager of the Philadelphia Phillies.
