"Dombrowski noted on Tuesday that he was immediately interested in adding Cora as soon as Boston cut him loose. However, Cora turned down the offer."
"I talked to him on Sunday morning. We talked about potentially taking the job. I had told him I had really come to the conclusion that if he took it, I was going to make a change."
"Cora just felt that he wanted, at this point, to be a father first and foremost. That's what he had decided."
After being fired by the Boston Red Sox, Alex Cora was considered a candidate for the Philadelphia Phillies' managerial position. The Phillies, struggling with a poor start, had recently fired their manager, Rob Thomson. Dave Dombrowski, the Phillies' president of baseball operations, expressed immediate interest in Cora due to their previous relationship. However, Cora ultimately declined the offer, choosing to focus on family rather than accepting a new managerial role at this time.
