"The timing of this seismic shakeup is very much worth noting. It comes just hours after the club's most complete win of the year - A 17-1 beatdown over Baltimore - and has shades of the Rafael Devers trade, which occurred right after a sweep of the Yankees last June."
"Despite all the struggles, the strong starting pitching is still very much in tact, and eventually that's going to start to matter. So this could be a very tactical move from the front office to time Cora's departure with what they see as the nadir of the early season."
