Jones asks the Big Q @2:00: How important is it for the Red Sox to bring back Alex Cora next season? Mego: Very, throw him the bag. Especially if the team continues to perform like this, regardless of what happens, if they get another piece or if they sell, if they keep this kind of athletic baserunning and defense and hot bats, I think that it is enough to earn Cora a bit of a raise.  Jones follows up by saying if Henry signs Cora, he would be a little more confident in the Sox as a whole.
