The Boston Red Sox will be without manager Alex Cora on Monday, though he has a good reason for his absence. Instead of being with the Red Sox for their series opener against the New York Mets at Fenway Park, Cora will attend his daughter Camila’s college graduation ceremony at Boston College.<\/p>\n
And Cora has absolutely no regrets about his decision.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s going to be a very special day, one that I\u2019m not going to miss,\u201d Cora said before the team\u2019s 10-4 loss to the Atlanta Braves on Sunday, via The Associated Press. \u201cI 100% will miss the game for that. I will do that any given day. It\u2019s going to be a very special day for us.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Cora is in his seventh season as the Red Sox\u2019s manager this summer. He holds a 544-475 overall record, and he helped lead the team to its World Series title in 2018. The franchise had made the playoffs once since then.<\/p>\n
The Red Sox dropped to 23-25 with their loss Sunday, which marked their fifth defeat in six games. Boston will host the Mets for three games starting Monday, then they will host the Baltimore Orioles for a four-game series starting Thursday. Cora will be back in the dugout Tuesday.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s going to be an amazing day. It happened fast,\u201d Cora said of Monday\u2019s ceremony. \u201cYou put everything into perspective, you go back to the videos of ’18 [when we won the World Series], she was a little girl \u2026 Now, she\u2019s not a little girl. She\u2019s a woman. She had fun with it. She\u2019s a great student, and the future\u2019s bright for her.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
