The Boston Red Sox have made a decision to re-hire manager Alex Cora, who in January mutually agreed to part ways with the team due to his involvement in the Houston Astros' cheating scandal, according to multiple media reports on Friday.

The sides reached an agreement Friday on a two-year contract with options for another two years, a source told Enrique Rojas of ESPN.

13 revealing that the Astros had used technology to steal signs during their championship season, with Cora mentioned as a key figure in the scheme.

The Boston Globe previously reported that Cora had met in person with the team's chief baseball officer, Chaim Bloom, and general manager Brian O'Halloran, about returning to the job he held in the 2018 and 2019 seasons.

Ron Roenicke, who served as Cora's bench coach, was named the Red Sox manager. Whatever your stand on the Red Sox decision to re-hire their former skipper following Cora's one-year suspension by Major League Baseball, it's important to understand how much the landscape has changed. They finished fifth in the AL East after trading Mookie Betts to the Los Angeles Dodgers and also lost ace Chris Sale to Tommy John surgery.

The Red Sox were widely applauded for hiring Cora in 2017, for reasons both symbolic and practical.
