		In 1993, Epstein wrote in the YDN that Carm Cozza should be fired.
		"Theo is really bright, and with his passion and intelligence, he probably can't help but succeed," says Billy Beane, GM of the Oakland Athletics.

		Epstein, a native of the Boston suburb of Brookline, became director of baseball operations for San Diego in 2000, when Lucchino was running the Padres.
		Epstein worked with Port to represent Boston at the recent general managers' meetings, and he also worked on negotiating compensation for the A's when it was thought Beane would take the job.

		Theo Epstein will return to the team he built into a World Series winner, he and the team said Thursday night in a joint statement that did not say what his role would be.
		Epstein's return concludes an almost Shakespearean saga that led him to walk away from the team, reportedly because of a falling out with Lucchino, his longtime mentor.
		The Red Sox made Epstein the youngest GM in baseball history in 2002, and his first team came within a Pedro Martinez pitch count of reaching the World Series.

		Epstein, according to these sources, had several reasons to believe Lucchino was a primary source behind the column and came to the realization that if this information were leaked hours before Epstein was going to agree to a new long-term deal, it signaled excessive bad faith between him and Lucchino.
		Epstein clearly did not have that clout, and now the Sox lose a promising GM who, as you say, is the only who can claim to have brought them a championship.
		Epstein loses a high-proflie job where he had huge resources to draw upon, not to mention the eternal goodwill of the fanbase for his role in ending the 86-year drought.

	Lookout Landing :: Theo Epstein
		Theo Epstein stunned the Red Sox and the baseball world this afternoon by walking away from his job as general manager.
		Epstein accomplished everything he'd ever dreamed of in Boston, winning a world championship in his second year at the helm while guiding the Red Sox to three consecutive 95+ win seasons.
		While Epstein may go on to find himself in high demand, the situation in Boston will merit considerable attention, as nothing can be done to a roster that needs a lot of work until the team finds a suitable replacement.

		Theo Epstein is who many of us want to be, and I donât say that because heâs famous, intellectual and astute.
		Epstein has built up so much reputation capital by this point that thereâs little he can do to expend it all in one fell swoop, and the words of Bostonâs most contentious columnist are far from evidence against his character.

	The REAL Reason Theo's Gone - Deadspin
		As if Shaughnessy hadn't caused Bostonians enough pain throughout the years with his Curse business, he might very well be the man most responsible for the departure of the one man who brought a World Series title to Boston.
		From many accounts, Epstein was close to saddling back up with the BoSox until Shaughnessy wrote Sunday's column that basically implied Epstein was an ingrate who upset his "mentors".
		As a lifelong Sox fan, I was obviously shocked by the departure of Theo, and to see that it was the inventor of the "rhymes with schmurse" (to steal from Simmons) that was potentially behind all this makes me furious.

		INDIAN WELLS, Calif. -- Theo Epstein, one-time boy wonder of the Boston Red Sox front office and current stiff on the unemployment line, has done a lot of smart things in his life.
		Had Epstein hung around, he would have faced the unpleasant task of trading Manny Ramirez this winter, Curt Schilling would have gotten another year older and it all would have led to another disappointing season.
		True, Epstein is the only GM in 87 years to design a World Series-winning baseball team in Boston.

		Money and length of the contract were not issues in the past few days for Epstein, who had lobbied hard for an annual salary of more than $1 million a year.
		Epstein left because Lucchino was breathing down his neck in almost every decision.

		Born in 1974, Theo Epstein was the youngest General Manager in Major League Baseball history at the time of his hiring by the Boston Red Sox.
		Theo did an outstanding job finding some great prospects for our organization with such names as Jonathan Papelbon, Craig Hansen, Dustin Pedroia, Hanley Ramirez, etc. Having said that I do feel that he could have done a better job in the area of re-stocking the team in the off-season after the 04 season.
		Theo has shown dedication to the Red Sox his whole life, i am glad to see someone with so much passion for our team.

	Theo Epstein - Baseball Fever
		Epstein has every chance to succeed and I look for him to be one of the best GMs in the game after a year or two to settle into things.
		If he does fail in his position it will probably be more of a reflection on either owner John Henry limiting Epstein's autonomy as general manager or mistakes that are Epstein's own will probably be the fault of his lack of age/experience/maturity.
		Besides...all he has to do is win one World Series and he'll be the most successful general manager in the history of the franchise.
