After working in the San Diego Padres front office from 1998 to 2002, Theo Epstein was named General Manager of the Boston Red Sox on November 25, 2002. At the time he was the youngest GM in baseball history (Jon Daniels of the Texas Rangers has since surpassed the mark).

Following a three-year stint with the Red Sox, Epstein and the Red Sox were unable to come an agreement on a new contract following the 2005 season. CEO Larry Lucchino was seen by many as overly meddlesome which may have led Epstein's departure. But within a few months, Epstein returned to his former club in his previous capacity.
