The Boston Red Sox remove Chad Tracy’s interim tag and name him the team’s full-time manager. The team also picks up contract options on chief baseball officer Craig Breslow, extending his role.
The outlets agree that Tracy is retained because of the results during his first season leading the club, including a run that brings Boston into playoff contention. Yahoo Sports and The Athletic both note that the Red Sox reach the postseason during Tracy’s initial stretch as manager.
Fox Sports frames the moves as part of the organization’s decisions about leadership futures, focusing on both Tracy and Breslow rather than only on game results. Across coverage, the common thread is that the Red Sox finalize managerial and executive stability by converting Tracy’s interim position to a permanent one and continuing Breslow’s contract.
