CHICAGO — When the All-Star rosters were revealed Tuesday night, the biggest winner did not swing a bat, throw a baseball or even wear a particular uniform.

His impact is also not tied exclusively to the National or American League.

Still, as one runs down the list of players who will be heading to San Diego for next week’s All-Star Game, it is hard to miss the fingerprints of Theo Epstein.

Now the Chicago Cubs’ president for baseball operations, Epstein is trying to do for one long-suffering organization what he did for another in Boston — win a World Series or two. Between those two organizations, Epstein helped bring a combined nine players who were selected Tuesday to start in the All-Star Game and as many as three reserves.

For the Cubs, Epstein drafted third baseman Kris Bryant, traded for first baseman Anthony Rizzo (whom he had drafted for Boston) and shortstop Addison Russell, and signed second baseman Ben Zobrist; together, they make up the starting infield for the National League. Outfielder Dexter Fowler, whom Epstein acquired in a trade, was also selected as a starter.
