Theo Epstein has resigned from the Red Sox. This comes literally in the same day that everybody thought he signed with them. What the heck happened? Soul searching? What?
According to the Boston Herald, which first reported the news on its Web site, Epstein went through "agonizing soul-searching" as he considered whether to continue working for team president Larry Lucchino, whom he followed from Baltimore to San Diego to Boston.
I am SHOCKED. Shocked, I say. First DePoDesTa and now Theo. The Moneyball GM trifecta is in play! Who's next?
