The Washington Nationals had been supposed to carry a news conference for 2019 World Series MVP Stephen Strasburg on Saturday to make his retirement official.
It was only some weeks in the past that Strasburg had determined to step away from baseball because of a extreme nerve subject that has prevented him from pitching this season.
But now that retirement news conference is now being canceled because the staff and Strasburg are actually caught in a contract dispute, in keeping with a report from The Athletic on Thursday.
Strasburg signed a large seven-year, $245 million contract with the Nationals following the staff’s World Series win (the place he was named Series MVP), however accidents restricted him to only eight begins within the 4 seasons since.
When it grew to become obvious that his profession was in jeopardy, the Nationals approached Strasburg this season about retiring and, in keeping with The Athletic, supplied to pay him the total quantity of his remaining contract.
They have apparently determined to vary these phrases.
