Red Sox remove interim tag from manager Chad Tracy after the team's remarkable summer turnaround

Chad Tracy will not be shipping out of Boston anytime soon.

The Boston Red Sox announced on Tuesday that they have removed the interim label from Tracy, making him the 49th manager in franchise history.

Tracy took over for the fired Alex Cora on April 25, when the Red Sox were 10-17, and helped turn the team around.

The Red Sox are 74-55 under his watch.

The Red Sox signed Tracy to a three-year contract that runs through 2029 with a club option for 2030.

The Red Sox also exercised chief baseball officer Craig Breslow’s team options for 2029 and 2030, aligning their timelines.

"Over the last three years, we have watched Craig bring clarity, discipline, and conviction to the work of building our baseball operation.

Chad was asked to step into a difficult situation with little notice, but the trust he immediately commanded at the major league level was earned through years of work across our organization.

"What this team has accomplished over the past several months has been historic.

Results matter greatly in this business, but so do judgment, character and the ability to bring out the best in others.

Craig and Chad have demonstrated all of those qualities, and they have earned our confidence in leading us forward." The Red Sox have the second-best record in the American League and the fifth-best record in all of baseball since Tracy took over.

The 41-year-old manager authored the best 30-game stretch in franchise history when the Red Sox went 27-3 from July 3 to Aug.
