When the news started swirling that three-time World Series champion executive Theo Epstein was going to speak with the New York Mets about their president of baseball operations opening, fans got excited.

Sadly, and predictable, when Epstein met with Steve Cohen the two sides agreed this wasn’t the right time or position for him to get back in the (baseball) game.
Heard Steve Cohen and Theo Epstein have had a conversation and decided that this would not be the right opportunity for Epstein.
