The 2024 MLB season proved to be déjà vu all over again for Alex Cora and the Red Sox.

Boston owns a 76-76 record with 10 regular-season games to go, which has the club on the precipice of a fate it’s become used to. After coming within two wins of the 2021 World Series, the Red Sox went 78-84 and missed the playoffs in each of the last two seasons.

Not playing into October doesn’t sit well with Cora, who guided the club to a 2018 World Series title in his first season at the helm.

“Honestly, from my end, very disappointed,” Cora said on WEEI on Wednesday. “It’s been three years in a row that we played good until one point, and then after that we struggled, you know? We haven’t finished seasons. And, you know, at this level, you have to finish seasons. You have to, and we haven’t done that.”

All of that said, Cora believes the Red Sox have “the foundation” to turn things around and have sustained success. The veteran skipper pointed to Boston’s exciting group of top prospects and the emergence of its young big leaguers as the main reasons why he believes the Red Sox “are a lot closer than people think.”

Boston will try to prove that point in 2025, but for now, it will be looking to end the season on a high note and enter the offseason with positive energy.
