Just cut and pasted this:

USA Today's web site on Wednesday quoted a "high-ranking MLB official" as saying that Devil Rays managing general partner Vince Naimoli will be replaced by Stuart Sternberg at the end of the season. Though the story has been previously reported, this is the first time such a respected national publication has placed sources in making the report.

The story also says, "GM Chuck LaMar is expected to be fired once Naimoli departs, and manager Lou Piniella is expected to receive a buyout from the last year of his contract that pays him $4.5 million in 2006."

Sternberg and Naimoli were both at Tuesday night's game in New York but did not sit together.
