(670 The Score) Former Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein will join the MLB commissioner’s office, a source said Thursday.
He’ll be a consultant regarding on-field matters. Epstein is well-respected throughout the game and has often spoken genuinely about helping grow the sport. Whether this role is a stopgap position for him before taking on other endeavors or a path to a bigger role with MLB remains to be seen.
Epstein led the Cubs for nine seasons, joining them in late 2011 and stepping down this past November. He was the architect of the 2016 team that won the World Series, ending the franchise’s 108-year championship drought.
