Bo Sox's GM Theo Epstein resigns
Red Sox surprise; GM Epstein leaves team


BOSTON -- Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein resigned Monday, a stunning move that surprised the baseball world one year after he helped build Boston's first World Series championship team since 1918.

The 31-year-old Epstein was reportedly offered about $4.5 million for a three-year extension - quadruple his previous salary. But it was still short of the $2.5 million a year the Red Sox offered Oakland's Billy Beane in 2002 before making Epstein the youngest GM in baseball history.

"He did resign," Red Sox spokesman Charles Steinberg said.
According to the Boston Herald, which first reported the news on its website, 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.

This could do some serious damage to the Red Sox off season.
