Stephen Strasburg's potential retirement is in a state of public limbo after a pair of dueling reports, which the Washington Nationals addressed Friday.
The Nationals released a statement to Yahoo Sports calling leaks about Strasburg possibly retiring"regrettable" and denying that a news conference to announce such a decision was ever firmly planned."Stephen Strasburg is and always will be an important part of the Washington Nationals franchise. We support him in any decision he makes and will ensure that he receives what is due to him.
"It is our hope that ongoing conversations remain private out of respect for the individuals involved. Until then, we look forward to seeing Stephen when we report to Spring Training." Strasburg is currently on the fourth year of the seven-year, $245 million contract he signed after winning World Series MVP in 2019. As long as Strasburg continues to work toward a return, he will be owed his $32.5 million annual salary through 2026.
