Chad Tracy stepped into this role with an interesting résumé. Years developing hitters in the Red Sox minor league system, building lineups with pieces that weren’t quite ready for prime time. Now he’s doing it in the majors, where the margin for error is different and the stakes are real. The early returns: 23 games, a 12-11 record so far.
That record doesn’t tell the whole story, though. The offense hasn’t improved. Not even close. Boston is only averaging 3.14 runs per game under Tracy vs. 4.15 under Alex Cora in the 2026 season. The team hasn’t gotten better at scoring.
