NEW YORK \u2014 Are 66 games enough to judge whether the Red Sox should make Chad Tracy more than the interim manager?<\/span><\/p>\n

Read more With eighth win in a row, a shutout of the Mets, the Red Sox are just a half-game out of a wild-card spot<\/a><\/p>\n

The team\u2019s oldest players, Aroldis Chapman and Danny Coulombe, have seen enough to make up their minds.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s been good with us,\u201d Chapman told the Globe on Saturday before the Sox beat the Mets, 4-0, at Citi Field. \u201cThe communication is there. I think he\u2019s done a good job.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Chapman, 38, has played in the majors since 2010. Dusty Baker was his first manager and still his favorite. He also has played for Bruce Bochy, Joe Girardi, Joe Maddon, Aaron Boone, and several others along the way.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI like old-school managers,\u201d Chapman said. \u201cBut [Tracy] is like that. You know he\u2019s been around baseball a lot.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Coulombe, 36, has been with nine organizations since signing with the Dodgers in 2012. He\u2019s played for older traditionalists like Bochy and Don Mattingly, and then 38-year-old Rocco Baldelli with the Twins in 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n
