Will today represent the “reckoning” Theo Epstein promised Cubs’ fans after the 2018 season? Over the weekend word leaked that the president of baseball operations was to meet with team owner Tom Ricketts to recap the 2020 season. More specifically, at least according to David Kaplan of ESPN Radio Chicago, the two would discuss Epstein’s immediate and long-term future with the organization.

Though nothing has been officially reported, many are speculating that Epstein may want to start the transition of power to Jed Hoyer.
