Red Sox Exercise 2029-30 Club Options On Craig Breslow, Sign Manager Chad Tracy To Three-Year Deal

The Red Sox’ summer turnaround and postseason berth will lead to leadership continuity for the foreseeable future. The team announced Tuesday that it has exercised 2029-30 club options on chief baseball officer Craig Breslow and removed the “interim” label from manager Chad Tracy, who has signed a three-year deal covering the 2027-29 seasons. Tracy’s new contract also contains a 2030 club option. “Craig and Chad are two exceptionally talented leaders who have earned these opportunities in very different ways,” Red Sox CEO Sam Kennedy said in a statement within this morning’s press release. “Over the last three years, we have watched Craig bring clarity, discipline, and conviction to the work of building our baseball operation. Chad was asked to step into a difficult situation with little notice, but the trust he immediately commanded at the major league level was earned through years of work across our organization. What this team has accomplished over the past several months has been historic. Results matter greatly in this business, but so do judgment, character, and the ability to bring out the best in others. Craig and Chad have demonstrated all of those qualities, and they have earned our confidence in leading us forward.” More to come. View Comments (10)
