HBT: Wood talked to Epstein about Cubs job

Kerry Wood was back at Wrigley Field over the weekend for a ceremony honoring his Cubs career and it sounds like the recently retired right-hander will eventually be rejoining the organization in some capacity.

?We?ve kicked some ideas around, met with and talked to Theo [Epstein] about it,? Wood said, via Sahadev Sharma of ESPN Chicago. ?We?re all kinda on the same page and I?m sure we?ll get something done soon and work out all the details. Definitely want to be around and definitely want to be involved.?

Wood, who retired in mid-May, liked playing for the Cubs so much that he turned down bigger contract offers to return as a free agent in 2011 and has talked previously about thinking highly of Theo Epstein in general.

He also mentioned wanting to see the Cubs bring Sammy Sosa back into the fold at some point, but those odds seem quite a bit longer.
