Washington Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg has officially retired from MLB. The move comes after several months of uncertainty about Strasburg’s future in the league.

Strasburg, who has dealt with a number of injuries in recent years, made his retirement decision back in August. However, he never made it official and his retirement press conference was canceled at the last moment. It turned out that there was a dispute with the Nationals about the remainder of the seven-year, $245 million contract he signed with the franchise ahead of the 2020 NFL season. 

The two sides engaged in lengthy settlement negotiations before finally reaching an agreement this week. The expectation is that Strasburg will receive most, if not all, of the money he is owed, but a portion of it will be deferred.

Stephen Strasburg had a career season in 2019 when he helped the Nationals win their first World Series title and received World Series MVP honors. He became a free agent in the following offseason and unsurprisingly landed a lucrative new deal with the franchise.

The Nationals hoped that Strasburg would continue being a mainstay in their rotation for years to come, but that never materialized. A combination of injuries limited Strasburg to just eight starts since then and he made his most recent MLB appearance back in June 2022.

Strasburg will end his career with a 113–62 record, 3.24 ERA, and 1,723 strikeouts.

Washington Nationals’ veteran pitcher Stephen Strasburg is reportedly retiring from professional baseball. According to The Washington Post’s Jesse Dougherty and Barry Svrluga, Strasburg will officially announce his decision in early September.

Sources close to the situation say that Strasburg’s decision has been prompted by recent injuries that kept him off the mound since June 2022. He made one start last season, giving up seven earned runs in 4 1⁄3 innings, and spent the rest of the campaign on the injured list.

Stephen Strasburg will be best remembered by baseball fans for his role in the Nationals’ World Series-winning run in 2019. He went 5-0 with a 1.98 ERA and 47 strikeouts and won both of his starts in the World Series against the Houston Astros to be named World Series MVP.

After the impressive run in 2019, Strasburg opted out of his contract and signed a new seven-year, $245 million deal with the Nationals. However, he only started eight games since then, dealing with a series of injuries, including a nerve issue in his pitching hand and shoulder injury that required surgery.

 Strasburg will retire with a 113–62 record, 3.24 career ERA, and 1,723 strikeouts. He has three All-Star nods on his resume.

The Washington Nationals announced on Saturday that star starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg had been scratched from his start against the Yankees due to a nerve issue in his right hand.

Strasburg, who was named the World Series MVP in the Nationals’ 2019 playoff triumph, went on to miss his first start of the 2020 season thanks to the problem with his pitching hand.

Erick Fedde made the start in place of Strasburg, going 4.0 innings and giving up two runs in the Nats’ win over New York.

The Nationals’ concern now turns to their big right-hander, who is expected to anchor the team’s rotation as they look to defend their 2019 World Series title. He received an injection in his hand in order to try to clear up the problem.

It still remains to be seen, however, how long he may miss due to the nerve issue and if he will be forced to hit the injured list. Strasburg posted an 18-6 record with a 3.32 ERA last season, and any time that he might miss would be a tough blow to the Nats.

There is still no news as to when Strasburg will be ready to take the mound again, but Nats fans hope that it will come as soon as possible.

After choosing to opt out of his contract with the team earlier this offseason, Stephen Strasburg and the Washington Nationals agreed to a new contract on Monday.

The team came to an agreement with Strasburg that gives him an additional 7 years of contract with the team that is reportedly worth around $245 million, the most expensive contract ever given to a pitcher.

Strasburg is a star in the world of baseball, having led the Nationals to a 2019 World Series Championship. He was named the Most Valuable Player of the series after a fantastic performance that saw him win his two starts, striking out 14 and allowing 4 earned runs in 14.1 innings.

The former #1 overall pick has had a highly successful career, living up to the expectations that were deposited on him. The 10-year veteran owns a career record of 112-58 with a stellar ERA of 3.17.

The California native has been named an All-Star three times since making his Major League debut in 2010. The 2019 season was possibly his best year, as he led the National League in wins with 18 and finished the season with a 3.32 ERA in a brutal year for pitchers.

Strasburg will report to Washington’s Spring Training facility in February to begin the preparation for the 2020 season.
