Theo Nathaniel Epstein (born December 29, 1973) is an American baseball executive and attorney currently serving as the President of Baseball Operations for the Chicago Cubs of Major League Baseball (MLB).
On November 25, 2002, Epstein became the youngest general manager (GM) in the history of MLB when the Boston Red Sox hired him at the age of 28. In 2004, the Red Sox won their first World Series championship in 86 years and won another championship in 2007. Epstein resigned in October 2005, but was rehired as GM and executive vice president on January 24, 2006. On October 21, 2011 he resigned from his job in Boston to become President of Baseball Operations for the Chicago Cubs, who in 2016, went on to win their first World Series championship in 108 years.
Epstein was born in New York City and raised in Brookline, Massachusetts. He attended Brookline High School (a 1991 graduate), and played baseball for the Brookline High School Warriors, but dreamed of working for the Red Sox. Epstein has a 60-second-older fraternal twin brother, Paul, who is a high school guidance counselor in Brookline, MA. The brothers are co-founders of The Foundation to be Named Later, established in 2005.
Epstein's grandfather, Philip G. Epstein, and great-uncle, Julius J. Epstein – with Howard E. Koch – won Academy Awards for the screenplay of Casablanca, while his father, novelist Leslie Epstein, heads the Creative Writing Program at Boston University. Epstein's sister, Anya, was a screenwriter (Homicide: Life on the Street and Tell Me You Love Me).
