Analysis

Chad Tracy is priced at 43% as the next manager of the Boston Red Sox, reflecting that traders view him as the most likely candidate but not the consensus favorite. The Red Sox managerial job becomes available when the current manager is replaced, either through voluntary resignation or dismissal—a decision ultimately controlled by Red Sox management. The probability reflects market participants' assessment of Tracy's likelihood relative to other candidates, including Jason Varitek (6¢) and Andrew Bailey (11¢). Key factors driving the price include Tracy's managerial experience, his relationship with Red Sox ownership and front office, recent team performance and organizational direction, and whether competing candidates receive endorsement or interviews. The resolution date is contingent on when Red Sox ownership formally announces a new manager, which could occur immediately or extend across the offseason depending on the timing of the current manager's departure and the organization's decision-making process.

  • Chad Tracy's prior managerial experience and track record in Major League Baseball or affiliated organizations
  • Current Red Sox managerial status and stated timeline for any potential transition or replacement
  • Public reporting on which candidates have been interviewed, endorsed, or are actively pursuing the position
  • Relative experience and public visibility of competing candidates like Varitek and Bailey in managerial roles
  • Red Sox organizational structure and decision-making authority regarding manager selection

How we compute these odds

SimpleFunctions aggregates live prediction-market contracts from Kalshi and Polymarket. Each slug groups contracts that resolve on the same underlying event, identified by venue event_id.

For binary slugs, the headline probability is the liquidity-weighted mid-price across all bound contracts. For multi-outcome slugs (e.g. elections with 3+ candidates), the headline is the leader’s price; we never arithmetically average disjoint outcomes — that would produce a number with no real-world meaning.

Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours; daily aggregates are computed at 04:00 UTC. The 30-day sparkline is drawn from per-ticker daily means stored in market_indicator_daily; 24h delta and movement events are derived from the same source.
