Decorated executive Theo Epstein is stepping down as the president of baseball operations for the Chicago Cubs on Nov. 20, the team announced Tuesday. However, it doesn’t appear that he plans to immediately jump into consideration for the same role with the Philadelphia Phillies or elsewhere.
MLB.com‘s Jon Morosi says that Epstein, 46, plans to take a year off, specifically saying that he doesn’t believe that the resignation is to pursue a job with the Phillies or New York Mets. RADIO.
