Episode Details

The Boston Red Sox surge back into postseason contention as Chad Tracy’s interim run sparks a 15-game win streak. Should the Red Sox officially hand him the manager role? Gabby Maljanian spotlights Tracy’s impact, from his player relationships to clubhouse chemistry, and chats with Tracy himself about how veteran leadership from Willson Contreras and Sonny Gray has steadied this young squad.

Key stories include a potential trade for shortstop Zach Neto at the approaching deadline, roster maneuvers with Trevor Story’s injury, and the strategic fit Neto could bring to Boston’s infield. Plus, top prospect Franklin Arias earns a promotion to AAA Worcester after dominating Double-A, fueling excitement about the Red Sox’s future core. Can these moves solidify Boston’s playoff hopes and set the stage for a deep October run?
