Theo has a theory

Theo Epstein knew it was time to move on, even though it meant leaving the team he loved. After nearly a decade as general manager in Boston, where he won two World Series titles, Epstein decided change would be a good thing. “You are around the same landscape day after day for 10 years and eventually you will benefit from a new landscape and fresh problems,” Epstein said. Fresh problems? There are plenty of those in Chicago. Epstein was introduced as the new president of baseball operations for the Cubs on Tuesday, going from one team that ended its long championship drought while he was at the helm to one desperately searching for a title after more than a century of futility. “I think it’s equally as big a challenge,” Epstein said Tuesday. – AP
