For example, Julian McWilliams of CBS Sports confirmed the details reported by Murray.
Jeff Passan of ESPN also reported on the trade, noting that Devers was traded and the players the Red Sox received in return.

They were all the same place the Globe was - sitting on their fat asses not knowing how to break a story.
For the Glob it's the same old story - failure.
