THEO EPSTEIN

President of Baseball Operations

Chicago Cubs

CHANGE FROM 2015: NEWCOMER


His place in history secure after lifting the curse around two historic franchises in baseball, Epstein’s influence throughout sports business — especially baseball — can’t be denied. Touting a long executive tree throughout MLB, his style and manner of team building, front-office hiring, organizational structure, vision and philosophy will be copied throughout sports. And only 42 years old, Epstein has a long runway to continue to shape whatever area he focuses on next — whether in ownership or even outside the game.
