According to a TWEET by WEEI.com's Alex Speier, the Red Sox will get a pitcher from Chicago's 40-man roster in compensation for Theo Epstein. One source suggested that the player could be 26-year old right-handed reliever Casey Weathers—Colorado's first-round pick in 2007. Weathers underwent Tommy John surgery in 2008, but seemed to regain some of his form last year in the minors. The deal could come as early as today. Stay tuned for further details.
