The Boston Red Sox made a surprisingly dramatic change in an attempt to save their season, but things haven’t changed much since.
The team managed a .500 record in the immediate aftermath of long-time manager Alex Cora getting the boot. His replacement, Chad Tracy, seems to have been selected primarily for his familiarity.
“Chad has been in the organization for a while,” Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow explained after making the change, per MLB.com’s Ian Browne. “He’s managed at the highest level of our Minor League system and he's familiar with and has meaningful relationships with a majority of our roster, given the younger players that we do have. He's demonstrated an ability to get the most out of that group.”
But as Tracy looks to get more from the players than Cora did, he could make some more significant changes going forward.
