00:00likelihood that if they do move on from rob thompson today would dave dombrowski pick up
00:05the phone and call his old buddy alex cora after the news in boston broke this week yeah a lot
00:10of
00:10people are certainly connecting those dots and for good reason you know dave dombrowski hired
00:15alex cora in december of 2017 it was the first opportunity it was the first job cora got as a
00:21manager they won a world series together in 2018 and they're still close right now so yeah i guess
00:27there's always the possibility it would be highly unusual you know i was trying to find the last
00:33manager to manage two teams in one season and i think i mean i'm not totally sure but i think
00:40you got to go back to 1991 and buck rogers so like i don't i can't find one since then
00:46so like this
00:48kind of thing doesn't tend to happen you know i do think alex cora is going to manage again i
00:52don't
00:52know if it'll be this year or if it'll be next year he has a year left on his contract
00:56so it's
00:57not like he has to work this year he's going to get paid he's probably going to want an extension
01:02on the contract from whoever you know or he's going to want a contract that goes beyond 27 from
01:08wherever he he goes next so there's a lot to work out there and you know if you made a
01:14move today with
01:15the manager it might be too soon like there might not be time to work it out with alex cora
01:20yet so
01:21maybe you appoint an interim and then figure it out later so maybe it's not straight a to b but
01:28yeah
01:28i mean there are going to be dots connected there and for good reason we'll see if alex cora wants
01:32to work i i talked to some people who are close to him over the weekend who say that he's
01:38a little
01:39bit relieved they had differences of opinion he and craig breslow the chief baseball officer there
01:43about the direction of that team and it was not a tenable situation so that so alex is actually
01:49relieved that it happened and maybe wants to take a breath i don't know but certainly the
01:54relationship that exists between dombrowski and cora is only going to add fuel to the speculation that
02:00philadelphia is alex cora's next landing place now or sometime in the future
02:04you
02:05so
02:09you
02:09you
02:10you
