Red Sox Move Toward Naming Chad Tracy Their Next Manager

Overview

• Citing MassLive, multiple reports on Monday said Tracy is now 'more likely than not' to be named Boston’s full-time manager before the 2027 season.
• Tracy took over after Alex Cora’s April firing and has gone 61-42 as interim manager, including a 15-game winning streak that helped the Red Sox reach a 71-59 record and hold a sizable AL wild-card cushion.
• The Red Sox have kept the interim label publicly and say they will wait until the regular season ends to make a final decision, while reports say the club has contractual control of Tracy through a two-year deal.
• Players credit Tracy’s calm communication and his familiarity with Triple-A Worcester players for stabilizing a shaken clubhouse and rebuilding trust after the early-season turmoil.
• If the organization follows through, the front office will weigh performance over the final regular-season games and any postseason showing, and it may still consider external candidates though insiders say Tracy currently leads the search.
