Red Sox Notes: Mike Maddux, Dale Sveum, Ortiz

Here are some links from New England while we wait for the Red Sox and Cubs to finally decide on compensation for Theo Epstein...

• SI.com's Jon Heyman reports (on Twitter) that the Red Sox have not yet asked the Rangers for permission to interview pitching coach Mike Maddux, but he's seen as a likely candidate for their pitching coach job.
• In another tweet, Heyman says that Brewers hitting coach Dale Sveum has a good chance at the Red Sox's and the Cubs' managerial jobs. Sveum served as Boston's third base coach from 2004-2005.
• In a Twitter chat with fans, GM Ben Cherington confirmed that Sveum will be in for an interview tomorrow. The full chat transcript can be found here.
• The Red Sox haven't made David Ortiz an offer, according to the Boston Herald. The DH is seeking a three-year deal.
