From the publisher

A behind-the-scenes look at the Chicago Cubs' journey from lovable losers to World Series champions.

In 2011, Theo Epstein took on the challenge of rebuilding the Chicago Cubs, initiating a plan to end their century-long World Series drought. This is the story of how Epstein, GM Jed Hoyer, and manager Joe Maddon transformed the team through strategic player acquisitions, a focus on player development, and a commitment to building a winning culture.

The Plan reveals the inner workings of the Cubs' organization, featuring exclusive interviews with key figures like Epstein and owner Tom Ricketts. Discover how the Cubs overcame adversity, fostered fan loyalty, and ultimately achieved their long-awaited triumph. This is the definitive account for baseball fans eager to relive the Cubs' historic rise.
