Alex Cora discusses potential return to managing after Phillies offer
Summary

Alex Cora has indicated a willingness to return to managing after the Philadelphia Phillies reportedly offered him the position. This comes after the Phillies terminated long-time manager Rob Thomson and named Don Mattingly as interim manager. Cora had previously been let go by the Boston Red Sox earlier in the season due to a poor start. Currently, Cora is focusing on family but has left the door open for a return to coaching, stating he hopes to make a decision soon. He maintains that his return will involve consideration from his family.
