The Boston Red Sox announced Wednesday that they signed manager Alex Cora to a three-year contract extension through the 2027 season.
The deal is worth $21.75 million, ESPN reported. That would mark the second-highest salary for an MLB skipper behind Craig Counsell's five-year, $40 million contract with the Chicago Cubs.
The Red Sox (54-46) entered Wednesday's road game against the Colorado Rockies six games out of first place in the American League East and one game out of a wild-card spot.
Cora, 48, has a 494-416 record with Boston. The Red Sox won the World Series in his first season in 2018, but he was fired before the 2020 season in a fallout from the Houston Astros' 2017 sign-stealing scandal. He returned to the Boston bench in 2021.
Cora's current contract was set to expire after this season.
