The Boston Red Sox have officially appointed Chad Tracy as their 49th manager, removing his interim status. Tracy, who took over in April after Alex Cora was dismissed following a poor start to the season, has been signed to a three-year contract extending through 2029, with an option for 2030. Under Tracy’s leadership, the team achieved a significant turnaround, securing a wild-card playoff spot and posting a 74-55 record, including a 15-game winning streak that matched a franchise record. The Red Sox also confirmed the extension of chief baseball officer Craig Breslow’s contract through 2030. This decision reflects the team’s confidence in Tracy’s ability to lead them to future successes.
