Yankees could lure Alex Cora back to manage in 2027

Alex Cora plans to step away from managing in the 2027 MLB season after declining an opportunity with the Philadelphia Phillies. However, MLB insider Jon Heyman suggests the New York Yankees might be the only team capable of changing his mind. Cora has family commitments and a wedding in November, and he remains under contract with the Boston Red Sox for over $7 million in 2027. Heyman's commentary highlights the Yankees' need for a leadership change after another unsuccessful postseason under Aaron Boone, whose contract still has one year remaining. The situation around Boone could influence any potential managerial shifts next season.
