    The two sides are expected to finalize a three-year contract Sunday and officially announce it Monday.

      Astros bench coach Alex Cora has been offered and is expected to take the job as the next Red Sox manager, according to Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports.
      Heyman says Cora will accept the job as soon as the Astros are eliminated from the postseason, possibly as soon as Saturday night. Cora was the hot name on the managerial market this winter, drawing interest from four clubs with vacancies (Red Sox, Tigers, Phillies and Mets) in recent weeks.
      There are reports that it is official but obviously the Astros season has not ended yet.

        really, aside from LA & Houston does any team have justification for keeping their manager? ...

        Girardi out as Yankees manager after 10 years

        Girardi, 53, guided the Yankees to a 910-710 record over 10 seasons as manager, including a World Series championship in 2009. His 910 regular-season wins rank sixth in franchise history, trailing Joe McCarthy (1,460), Joe Torre (1,173), Casey Stengel (1,149), Miller Huggins (1,067) and Ralph Houk (944).

        During Girardi's tenure, the Yankees reached the postseason six times, including three American League East titles (2009, '11-12) and three Wild Card berths (2010, '15, '17).
        It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.
