Following the dismissal of manager Alex Cora and the coaching staff, interim manager Chad Tracy has led the Boston Red Sox through a significant performance turnaround. The team transitioned from the bottom of the American League to a second wild-card position, fueled by a 15-game winning streak. As the 2026 season progressed, the Red Sox maintained a 61-42 record, establishing themselves as strong postseason contenders. While Tracy has been considered a favorite for the AL Manager of the Year Award, his permanent status remains uncertain. ~~Reports suggest~~ Although the club has discussed other candidates, reports indicate that ~~although~~ Tracy currently holds ~~an advantage~~ the edge for the ~~position, chief~~ position.

In a related staffing move, former Portland Sea Dogs manager Chad Epperson has been promoted to interim third base coach. Epperson was moved directly from the minor leagues to the major leagues by Breslow, bypassing Triple-A Worcester.
