Alex Cora was brazen about Astros scandal: "We stole that World Series"

It sounds as if Alex Cora has a similar view of the Astros’ 2017 World Series title, when they used an illegal electronic sign-stealing scheme to win a championship, as much of the rest of the baseball world.
The Red Sox manager — who was Houston’s bench coach in 2017 — reportedly told his players in Boston in 2018, “We stole that [expletive] World Series,” according to a Boston Herald transcript of an excerpt of the new book “Winning Fixes Everything: How Baseball’s Brightest Minds Created Sports’ Biggest Mess” by Evan Drellich.
Cora was found to be one of the masterminds of the cheating scheme and was let go by the Red Sox — and suspended for the 2020 season by MLB — following the league’s investigation of the scandal.
He returned as Boston’s manager in 2021 and declined comment on the matter when reached on Friday, according to the Boston Herald.
