The Boston Red Sox former general manager Theo Epstein has been confirmed as The Boston Red Sox new general manager.

Epstein has essentially gone back in time to resume the duties he gave up when he resigned from the position more than three months ago. As one of the youngest GMs in baseball history, the 32-year-old Epstein helped assemble the team that won Boston's historic first World Series championship in 86 years in 2004.

Epstein takes on the added title of executive vice president, and the two co-general managers appointed in December aren't sent out in exile: Ben Cherington is now vice president/player personnel and Jed Hoyer is assistant general manager.
