Chad Tracy Sends Message To Red Sox Players After Clinching Postseason Berth

Boston Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy extended his gratitude to his team and staff after they secured a spot in the postseason. The team's season had been on a downward trajectory, but a 15-game win streak turned things around. Tracy acknowledged the challenges the team faced early in the season when Alex Cora was fired and injuries started to accumulate.

However, with Tracy's leadership, the Red Sox managed to stay hot and ultimately send a message to their players. "I want to express gratitude for everyone in the room," Tracy said to his players before Sunday's celebration. "I’m so grateful for you guys, for our staff, for everybody. You stared impossible in the face. The position we were in, you beat it back and said, ‘The hell with that, we’re going to the playoffs.’

And you did." The Red Sox are set to face the New York Yankees in the American League Wild Card Series for the second consecutive year.
