The Boston Red Sox remove the interim tag from Chad Tracy and name him the franchise’s 49th manager. Multiple outlets report the decision follows his interim leadership and a notable improvement in the team’s results.
The change is timed around the Red Sox clinching a postseason berth. Yahoo Sports reports the team secures a wild-card spot on Sunday, and Tracy is elevated shortly after. The Winnipeg Free Press similarly frames the move as the conclusion of an interim period after a turnaround, emphasizing the franchise milestone of naming him permanent manager.
