Red Sox manager Chad Tracy emerges as favorite for MLB award

Chad Tracy, interim manager of the Boston Red Sox, is being recognized as a leading candidate for the American League Manager of the Year award. This recognition comes after the team's strong performance over the past month, despite a recent series loss to the Athletics. Analysts note that the Red Sox have shown significant improvement since Tracy took over, raising questions about the effectiveness of former manager Alex Cora. As the regular season approaches its conclusion, Tracy's chances of securing the award depend on the team's performance in the upcoming weeks, particularly compared to Will Venable of the Chicago White Sox, who has also been a strong contender.
