CHICAGO — It’s a good thing “Jeopardy!” champion James Holzhauer is a Theo Epstein admirer. Perhaps he’ll let the Cubs president keep his job.
Holzhauer, who on Thursday ran his winning streak on the popular TV trivia show to 21 games and his earnings to more than $1.6 million, has designs on holding a front-office position in Major League Baseball one day. And he’s a Cubs fan, so you do the math.
In all seriousness, though, getting a front-office job was a childhood fantasy the Naperville, Ill., native and University of Illinois graduate has mused about to several media outlets and his Twitter followers.
