This caused Stainbrook to respond to his false report, issuing an apology to Newsome.
"I would like to apologize to Greg Newsome regarding my latest report. My goal is to be accurate and correct and today I failed to view the entire picture, and instead I jumped the gun.
"To be 100% clear, I was told Greg Newsome wanted to be traded. I will never reveal where I get information from but I would have never even reported it in the first place if I didn't trust where I was getting information from.
"I am confused on why someone would lie to me regarding that information, but I will continue to improve and learn from this mistake. Aain, I apologize to Greg Newsome regarding this report."
