Overview
- Citing a Monday column by Bob Nightengale, multiple outlets report Tracy is the current favorite to win AL Manager of the Year after the Red Sox’s recent run.
- Tracy is 54–35 (.607) in 89 games as Boston’s manager since he replaced Alex Cora, a winning percentage that ranks among the best in franchise history.
- The turnaround accelerated after June 25 when Boston won 32 of 39 games, including a 15‑game streak that tied the club record and pushed the team back into playoff contention.
- Alex Cora was fired on April 25 and Tracy was elevated from the Red Sox’ minor‑league staff; local writers and team officials are publicly pressing to remove his interim label.
- Both the Manager of the Year vote and any permanent hire remain unsettled and will hinge on Boston’s results over the final six weeks of the regular season and the postseason picture.
