After a year-long suspension, the Red Sox announced Friday morning that Alex Cora will return to manage the team for the 2021 season.
Reaction on Twitter covered a wide range of emotions. Yankees fans in particular expressed their faux-outrage (if you want to talk about cheating, please look no further than Alex Rodriguez) while Red Sox fans were somewhat divided in their feelings.
Here's a quick cross-section of the reaction on Twitter.
Let me rewrite the tweet so I stop getting judged about the election 😂 It was about the Red Sox. Alex Cora is back, but that doesn’t magically fix their roster issues. Now Bloom must build a competitive team to make Cora look like the savior.

If ALEX CORA doesn't take out a full page ad in the Globe stating "I'm Back"...I'll be disappointed. I might do it in the NY Post for shits and gigs. @Jared_Carrabis wanna split it?

This will be the narrative.... It was Bloom’s call. But who cares. It’s not like Henry was forcing Bobby V on the guy. He won a WS and is a very good Manager. Bloom has plenty of time to put his finder print on this roster. https://t.co/pK6M7ToMDP

"Red Sox players openly pined for (Alex Cora's) return, the front office always worked well with him, and the fan base — with some notable, disappointed exceptions — still gave him credit for winning the 2018 World Series."
