## Resource

Boston Red Sox surge from midseason turmoil to postseason contenders—can their revamped roster and new manager Chad Tracy deliver a deep playoff run? Gabby Maljanian joins Sully to break down the Red Sox’s dramatic transformation, spotlighting the impact of firing Alex Cora, the emergence of players like Caleb Durbin, Anthony Siegler, Ender Monasterio, and a historic 15-game win streak. The conversation explores Tracy’s bold contract extension, key trade pickups like Adley Rutschman, and questions whether Boston can overcome recent offensive struggles in clutch moments. With concerns about run support for pitchers like Peyton Tolley and Sonny Gray, the Red Sox face a tough potential Wild Card showdown against the New York Yankees’ elite arms. Would a strategic drop in the standings to face a weaker AL West opponent give Boston the edge? Don’t miss this candid analysis of the Red Sox’s playoff hopes, roster moves, and the looming challenge posed by the Judge-less Yankees.
