“Extremely discouraging”: Tom Werner breaks silence on Rafael Devers trade after first base refusal

Months after the move, comments from inside the organization have provided clarity about what led to the split. On Sunday, Red Sox chairman Tom Werner addressed reporters and revisited the situation.
