I thought the front office would notify Alex Cora that the Red Sox were actively looking for his replacement but waiting until MLB announced its sanctions before officially severing ties. Got that one wrong.

A trade could still happen within a week.

Yes:

From Boston Globe columnist Dan Shaughnessy: https://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/redsox/2020/01/14/red-sox-should-fire-manager-alex-cora-wake-cheating-scandal/yVLqHv4NweKeqQDgfG0R7N/story.html?et_rid=1739401789&s_campaign=108stitches:newsletter

The point may have been made if Dustin Pedroia and another player from the San Joaquin Valley were under investigation for similar behavior the month the valley experienced yet another natural disaster. Or not.
-
No accusation made, only a question that leaves open the possibility that the bench coach had no role.
-
What was the bench coach's role (if any) in all of this?
-
Likely depends on the bench coach's involvement in illegal activity, if any.

In the criminal justice system, a person is often placed on probation for a crime, for example, that carries a jail sentence of up to one year. If the person commits a new crime, that's a probation violation that authorizes a judge to impose a jail sentence of up to one year for the first crime in addition to the punishment for the second crime. If the second crime occurred after the first crime, but before the person was formally placed on probation for the first crime, that's not a probation violation (nevertheless it's part of the person's criminal history that may enhance the punishment for the second crime). MLB may have a parallel system ... or not.

Not a good month for Puerto Rico.

The MLB investigation continues, according to the baseball commissioner, who wrote: "I will withhold determining the appropriate level of discipline for Cora until after the DOI completes its investigation of the allegations that the Red Sox engaged in impermissible electronic sign stealing in 2018 while Cora was the manager." https://img.mlbstatic.com/mlb-images/image/upload/mlb/cglrhmlrwwbkacty27l7.pdf

We await the MLB report on the Red Sox.

Sam Travis reportedly accepts assignment to minors after clearing waivers:

She's Dr. Harmony (and does not share my last name).

I sometimes worried that my daughters might not handle conflict and yelling well in the outside world because they were not exposed to conflict and yelling at home ... but they seem to be doing well in their 20s (even with the screaming by my younger daughter's college coach).
-
My wife and I have never raised our voices toward each other in 26 years together ... which may or may not be a good thing.
-
Likely yes. Friendly advice: calm down.
-
Agree. 100 percent.
-
Without evidence to support it, that's a pathetic response. With evidence, it's OK. IMHO

Steve Cishek reportedly signs with the White Sox for a $6.75 million guarantee: ... although Cishek reportedly wanted to sign with the Red Sox:

The luxury-tax watch will not be "fun," according to the Boston Globe's Peter Abraham: https://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/redsox/2020/01/06/for-red-sox-fans-luxury-tax-watch-will-not-fun/wrvUSc2ceZsQMK2KJ3TrVO/story.html?et_rid=1739401789&s_campaign=108stitches:newsletter

But a task that can still be accomplished ... to a degree. The Red Sox are probably waiting for the best offer ... as are the potential trade partners. It's a likely standoff on January 7.

Unless Jose Peraza and Martin Perez were high priorities (and if the pair came in below anticipated cost). Did the Red Sox enter the 2017-18 offseason with a plan to wait to February 26 to sign J.D. Martinez?
-
Yet.

"Desperate" may be the most overused term of the offseason. But if the term must be used, the Red Sox may be most fitting because the Sox face the most intense luxury tax pressures while trying to improve on an 84-win team that finished 12 games back of the second Wild Card slot.
