Theo Epstein steps down as Chicago Cubs head of baseball operations

The picture at the top of this story is screwing up our all-pitchers-throwing-at-one-another front page at Red Reporter, and for that I apologize. Heck, this isn’t even a story about the Cincinnati Reds...

Or, is it?

News broke quickly on Tuesday that Theo Epstein, head of baseball operations of the Chicago Cubs and the architect of the team that brought a World Series trophy back to the north side of Chicago after millenia, was stepping down from his role. Initially, it seemed as if he were just stepping away for a time, but as the Cubs themselves revealed with a statement (link below), his time with the club has officially ended as of today.
