Boston Red Sox first baseman Willson Contreras feels a sense of relief in the team following the firing of manager Alex Cora and his staff, noting a reduction in tension. However, he emphasized the need for the team to improve and find consistency after a 3-1 loss to the Astros, while the Red Sox have struggled offensively, particularly with runners in scoring position. Teammate Marcelo Mayer disagreed with attributing the struggles to youth, insisting that the team needs to perform better. Currently, Boston is last in the AL East with a 13-21 record.
