Red Sox president Sam Kennedy said that Theo Epstein will not be a candidate to replace former Chief Baseball Officer Chaim Bloom, according to Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe.
“Sam Kennedy ruled out Theo Epstein (which probably means Theo ruled out Theo),” Abraham wrote. “Have always thought Theo only returns to the Sox in an ownership capacity.”
Epstein, 49, built a pair of World Series champion teams with the Red Sox in 2004 and 2007. He later won a third World Series with the Chicago Cubs in 2016 before leaving his position in 2020.
