If he is not fired, I will leave the Boston Red Sox head coach, as he has a misunderstanding with his star player.

The Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora, a former bench coach for the Houston Astros who was named as the scheme’s architect in an MLB investigation, lost his job on Tuesday night as a result of the sign-stealing incident involving the team.

After joining the Red Sox and helping them win the 2018 World Series right away, Cora assisted the Astros in winning the 2017 World Series. The organization announced that Cora and its ownership had “mutually agreed to part ways” after he left.

In an investigation released on Monday by Commissioner Rob Manfred, M.L.B. investigators determined that Cora was a key player in a criminal plot to use a video feed to take opponent catchers’ signs and give them to the Astros’ hitters.

The resignation of Cora further cast doubt on the future of Carlos Beltran, the new manager of the Mets, and came a day after the announcement of a year-long ban for Astros Manager A.J. Hinch and General Manager Jeff Luhnow, who was later fired. Beltran, an outfielder for the Houston Astros in 2017, was the only Astros player included in the study.

With Cora’s exception, the operation was described as “player driven” in the report. Although Manfred spared Beltran by choosing not to sanction players, the Red Sox and the Astros have already taken action without consulting MLB, and the Mets may come under pressure to follow suit. As one of the players who “discussed that the team could improve on decoding opposing teams’ signs and communicating the signs to the batter,” Beltran was mentioned in the report.

With the Mets’ lack of statement on Tuesday night, a spokesman for the team put Beltran in a vulnerable situation. To further elaborate on their statement from Tuesday, the Red Sox announced that they would host a news conference at Fenway Park on Wednesday.
