Theo Epstein resigned as general manager of the Boston Red Sox Monday after failing to agree on a new contract with the ball club.
Epstein's contract, signed in 2002, expires at midnight on Oct. 31. He resigned from his post late Monday afternoon.
"Growing up in the shadow of Fenway Park, I never dreamed of having the chance to work for my hometown team during such an historic period," Epstein said in statement late Monday. "My decision not to return as general manager of the Red Sox is an extremely difficult one. I will always cherish the relationships I developed here and am proud to have worked side-by-side with so many great people, in and out of uniform, as we brought a World Championship to Boston."
