The Milwaukee Brewers have asked the Chicago White Sox for permission to interview Joey Cora for their managerial position, according to a source familiar with the situation. But Cora had not heard from the Brewers as of early Thursday afternoon, according to a source. Former Mariners and Arizona Diamondbacks manager Bob Melvin is considered a favorite for the Brewers job, and he's also a candidate for the Chicago Cubs job, according to a source. Cora was a finalist for the Seattle Mariners job before the Mariners hired Don Wakamatsu in 2009. http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/mlb/news/story?id=5685039
