The Boston Red Sox has been in a rut recently but there's been some pretty wild and outlandish speculation about the team. Boston dropped the first two games of its three-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers to drop its record to 27-30.

Responding to that call, Red Sox insider Chris Cotillo of MassLive issued a clear assessment of Cora's job security at this point. "Eight weeks into a three year contract," Cotillo wrote. "He's not on the hot seat as of now."

Red Sox starter Brayan Bello had an extended conversation with manager Alex Cora in the dugout after he lasted only four innings in his last start Friday vs. the Orioles.
