Daily Red Sox Links: Alex Cora, J.D. Martinez, Jackie Bradley Jr.

This afternoon Alex Cora will be formally re-introduced as the Red Sox manager. Typically these press conferences focus on what is coming next and future plans. This time around, the past will be under the spotlight. (Alex Speier; Boston Globe)

Sean McAdam will be among those who will be looking for some answers in that respect. (Sean McAdam; Boston Sports Journal)

It will certainly be very interesting to see how Alex Cora addresses these things, particularly since he’s been relatively quiet since initially being suspended. (Chad Jennings; The Athletic)

Dave Dombrowski, who of course hired Cora for the Red Sox the first time around, is not surprised by the reunion. (Rob Bradford; WEEI)

In a season full of disappointments, J.D. Martinez may have stood out above the rest. John Tomase looks back at the year that was. (John Tomase; NBC Sports Boston)

A division rival is going to be battling with the Red Sox in the offseason as well, it seems. (Christopher Smith; Masslive)
