Amid the team’s hot streak, ESPN’s Buster Olney urged the Red Sox to make a move.
Olney (via Get Up): “Chad Tracy their manager took over. He still has the interim tag. Does anyone think that he’s going to be let go before the end of the regular season? How about taking that interim tag off Chad Tracy? He has done a great job. The Red Sox are doing this against really good teams. Look, they they swept the Dodgers, then they sweep the White Sox. Pretty amazing.”
