Hours after defeating the Baltimore Orioles 17-1, the Boston Red Sox took an axe to their coaching staff, firing manager Alex Cora, hitting coach Peter Fatse, bench coach Rámon Vazquez and game-planning coach Jason Varitek.
Then escorted them away from Camden Yards using a transportation company with the most unfortunate but fitting name for the moment: Coaches4Hire.
As tends to be the case with many transportation companies, that name was proudly displayed on the side of the vehicle Cora and company reportedly had to ride in, a black van with COACHES4HIRE LLC in gold letters. That's a tough coincidence for the coaches who are, in fact, now for hire.
I cannot believe the van taking away the fired Red Sox coaching staff says "COACHES4HIRE LLC" https://t.co/Vy1b9A91ML pic.twitter.com/rOopFVzZ8d
I'm guessing the Red Sox didn't consider the optics on this one. Which probably shouldn't come as a surprise for a team just 10-17 even after the big win and in apparent disarray.
