Theo Epstein has joined Fenway Sports Group as a senior advisor.
It’s critical to note that Epstein will not be directly in charge of personnel decisions for the Red Sox, but is joining their ownership group — Fenway Sports Group — in an advisory capacity following a two-year stint working for Major League Baseball as a consultant for on-field matters. The longtime front office executive spent nine seasons as the Cubs president of baseball operations from 2011-2020, helping lead the franchise to a World Series title in 2016, after a nine-year stint with the Red Sox as their general manager, in which he was the architect of a pair of World Series champion roster in 2004 and 2007.
