Theo Returns….
The Following is part of an article from redsox.com from a few days ago, just to lazy to write it myself
For weeks, Red Sox president/CEO Larry Lucchino promised that the light would be left on and the door would be kept ajar in the event that Theo Epstein opted to return to the club. After weeks of speculation, that exact scenario unfolded, with the Red Sox releasing a brief statement Thursday night saying simply that Epstein, who departed his post as general manager on Oct. 31, will return to the organization.
What role will Epstein play now that his confidants — Ben Cherington and Jed Hoyer — are co-general managers? That will be elaborated on next week, when the Red Sox hold a formal news conference to shed light on Epstein’s return to the organization.
Epstein’s new role figures to have plenty of significance, as the club did indicate he would be returning to the club full-time, and not, as had been speculated in some circles, in an advisory role.
