Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein is likely to adhere the Chicago Cubs within the next 48 hours, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press on Tuesday night.
The Cubs will reportedly pick up the conclusion bonus of Epstein's deal with the Red Sox, which still has a year remaining. Red Sox Assistant GM Ben Cherington looks to be the likely replacement for Epstein.
The Cubs fired general manager Jim Hendry on Aug. 19 and finished 71-91. Epstein would be heading for a Cubs franchise that hasn't won the World Series since 1908. Boston hadn't won a championship since 1918 until doing it in 2004, Epstein's second year as general manager. The Red Sox also won it all in 2007.
The 37-year-old Epstein has one year left on his contract with the Red Sox.
