HBT: Red Sox to name Cherington new GM

Theo Epstein has reportedly agreed to a five-year, $15 million contract with the Cubs, which means the Red Sox are now in search of a new general manager.

However, according to Sean McAdam of CSNNE.com that search won?t take long, as vice president of player personnel Ben Cherington ?is widely expected? to replace Epstein as GM.

Cherington is from New Hampshire and has been with the Red Sox since 2002, previously sharing GM duties with Jed Hoyer when Epstein took a three-month break from the role in 2005.

McAdam reports that Cherington ?has been in on a number of high-level meetings with team ownership since the Red Sox?s season crashed and burned on the final day of the season.?

I?m sure time will show that Cherington and Epstein are different in many ways, but the overall approach to team-building and player analysis probably won?t change a ton. After all, just a couple years ago I sat next to Cherington at a SABR convention presentation about assessing player value for midseason trades. It?s safe to say he?s a stat-head, just like Epstein and most of the Red Sox?s front office.
