Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission. Steve Cohen and Theo Epstein had a conversation about the Mets president of baseball operations job and decided the fit was not right. So the easiest solution to filling this vital role is off the board.

Epstein was the simple path because 1 he is obviously overqualified for the role and 2 he was not affiliated with a team and, thus, the Mets did not need to seek permission to have a conversation.

The other two front-line possibilities for this job — Oakland executive vice president of baseball operations Billy Beane and Milwaukee president of baseball operations David Stearns — both would need permission. Cohen was frustrated last offseason when he did not have access to the top of his list for this position. In his day job — the one that made him billions of dollars — Cohen would just pursue whoever he wanted whenever he wanted for his hedge fund.

It is one of the reasons he tabled hiring a president of baseball operations last year. In his thinking, it was better to wait than hire the wrong person. He was always a long shot. So one position helps him form bonds and knowledge with, for example, rich folks who might be interested in buying a major league team, and the other allows him to ingratiate himself with and gain further knowledge of central baseball. It works for his current desires. Epstein believes he was part of the analytic runaway that produced a duller on-field product and wants to be part of that solution.

And then he wants to assemble a group to buy a team, have a stake in that organization and help reimagine a franchise from bottom to top. But in many ways, Epstein has been there and done that. He is going to the Hall of Fame one day as an executive for being the architect of curse-busting Red Sox and Cubs championships. Doing it a third time would not enhance his reputation as failing might soil it some. Dealing with a down-and-out club or expansion team would provide the kind of challenge that now tempts Epstein.

He worked his way up to become the team's Director of Baseball Operations. Lucchino hired Epstein to work under him and appointed him to replace the interim general manager, Mike Port. The Red Sox defeated the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series, which was the first World Series championship for them since It was the third-longest championship drought in the history of any Major League team.

Theo is good looking and handsome and has served in the field of sports for several years. His birth sign is Capricorn. He is the son of Ilene and Leslie Epstein. His grandfather and great-uncle are the Oscar-winning screenwriters of Casablanca Regarding his personal life, Epstein is a married man and has one child.
