What to know

  • Red Sox removed Chad Tracy's interim tag, naming him the franchise's 49th manager on a three-year deal through 2029 with a 2030 club option.
  • Boston exercised chief baseball officer Craig Breslow's 2029 and 2030 contract options, ending offseason uncertainty about his job.
  • The decisions cap a turnaround from a 10-17 start and Alex Cora's April firing to a 72-52 stretch under Tracy, including a franchise-tying 15-game winning streak and a playoff berth.
  • Both moves signal the Red Sox are betting on continuity into 2027 rather than a front-office or dugout overhaul.

    Coverage frames moves as a bet on continuity after near-collapse

    Outlets noted that as recently as mid-June, Tracy looked like a stopgap and Breslow appeared likely to lose his job, making Boston's decision to extend both a reversal driven by the team's second-half turnaround.

    “As of mid-June, it looked like Chad Tracy was a stopgap and Craig Breslow would soon lose his job. Months later, the Red Sox chose continuity and rewarded both men with contract extensions.”
