Change is likely for the Cubs’ roster following their swift elimination from the postseason by the Marlins, but there may be more change coming on the North Side.
Cubs president Theo Epstein will meet with chairman Tom Ricketts next week to discuss the long-term plan for the baseball operations department, according to a report by NBC Sports Chicago’s David Kaplan.
According to Kaplan, Epstein will likely leave after his contract expires next season, but could leave his role as soon as this year with the team finding a new head of baseball operations.
Epstein, who is entering the final year of a five-year deal, is scheduled to meet with the media on Monday for his season-ending press conference.
