Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy kept Jarren Duran in Friday’s lineup against the Dodgers and downplayed Duran’s Thursday outburst, saying the incident isn’t as big as it’s portrayed and that the team is in good spirits.
The Boston Globe argues the Red Sox should have held Jarren Duran accountable after Thursday's public outburst toward Willson Contreras and interim third-base coach Chad Epperson, noting Duran’s ongoing struggles at the plate and past incidents that underscore the need for leadership and accountability during a pennant-race stretch.
After Jarren Duran’s emotional outburst in the Red Sox’s 5-4 win over the Athletics, teammates and interim manager Chad Tracy downplayed the incident, saying Duran was venting at himself and wasn’t upset with anyone, while Contreras added he wasn’t offended. Duran later went 0-for-4 to drop to .195, and he slammed his helmet in the dugout; teammates supported him, highlighting his energy and competitive fire as part of the team’s dynamic.
Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy helped drive a dramatic midsummer turnaround after a disappointing June 22 loss, opting for personal outreach over frequent meetings, sending late-night messages and establishing new routines to energize players and fuel a historic surge.
The Red Sox extended their win streak to 14 games with a 6-5 victory over the Orioles, aided by Willson Contreras’ three hits and two RBIs and Caleb Durbin’s decisive eighth-inning homer. They’ve won 19 of 21 and sit 51-48, one win short of tying the 1946 franchise record. A mix of veterans and newcomers is fueling the run: Jake Bennett is 3-0 with a 0.87 ERA in the streak; closer Aroldis Chapman has eight saves during this surge; Tsung-Che Cheng, Andruw Monasterio, and Anthony Seigler have produced key hits; Masataka Yoshida is thriving (.357 with seven extra-base hits since June 25); and interim manager Chad Tracy’s leadership has helped the club jell after travel setbacks and a late-spring stumble.
Chad Tracy, a longtime minor-league manager who spent four seasons guiding Worcester, was elevated to Red Sox interim manager after Alex Cora was fired. His career arc—player turned coach, Angels field coordinator, WooSox skipper—highlights a leadership style that blends analytics with strong teaching and communication, earning the trust of players like Marcelo Mayer and the respect of his baseball family.
The Boston Red Sox are expanding their coaching ranks after firing manager Alex Cora and six coaches, with Pablo Cabrera joining as first base coach and José David Flores likely moving to bench coach to support interim manager Chad Tracy as the team readies for a series in Toronto.
Boston fired Alex Cora after a 10-17 start left them last in the AL East, and interim manager Chad Tracy leads a short list of five candidates for the permanent gig: Tracy, Rocco Baldelli, Ryan Flaherty, Brandon Hyde and Brad Ausmus. Tracy is favored to seal the job if he steadies the team, but Boston could pursue a broader search in the offseason, depending on how the remainder of the season unfolds.
