The Boston Red Sox have named Chad Tracy as their 49th manager, removing his interim tag. The team announced that Tracy has signed a three-year contract through the 2029 season, with a club option for 2030. The Red Sox also exercised the 2029 and 2030 options on chief baseball officer Craig Breslow. Tracy's promotion follows the Red Sox securing a wild-card playoff spot over the weekend. He took over in April after Alex Cora was fired following a 10-17 start.
Tracy has since led the team to a 74-55 record, including a 15-game win streak.
