Phillies, Red Sox Turn Tables After Manager Firings

The 2026 MLB season is witnessing a surprising turnaround from the Philadelphia Phillies and Boston Red Sox, who both fired their managers early on due to poor performances. The Phillies, after dropping nine straight games and falling to the bottom of the NL East, have since gone 7-1 under interim manager Don Mattingly, climbing to second place in the division and just four games out of the wild card hunt. Meanwhile, the Red Sox, who fired Alex Cora and five coaches after a 10-17 start, have posted a 5-4 record under interim manager Chad Tracy, pulling within six games of .500 and only two games shy of the final AL wild card spot.
