Longtime Cubs executive Theo Epstein is joining the Commissioner’s Office.
The Cubs are currently going through an inevitable change. In mid-November, Theo Epstein announced his resignation, passing his president of baseball operations title to Jed Hoyer. The unfortunate news marked an end of an era during which the team emerged as a powerhouse.
Change is still occurring within the organization and, until now, Epstein’s future was in question. At the time, he had expressed no interest in taking on a similar role. His focus was more on his family given all the time he had to spend away from them.
