The Red Sox have stunned baseball by firing Alex Cora and overhauling the coaching staff just 27 games into the season. Adam Weinrib and Robert Murray break down why Boston pulled the plug so early, what happened behind the scenes, and whether this move was about far more than a slow start.

They also discuss Craig Breslow’s future, what could come next for Cora, whether Chad Tracy can salvage the season, and Kyle Harrison’s breakout after another dominant start.
