A three-time all-star, Strasburg hangs it up with a 3.24 ERA and 1,723 strikeouts in 247 regular season starts, each of them with Washington.
The financial implications of Strasburg’s retirement were not immediately known Thursday afternoon. But in similar cases, players and teams have reached settlements that typically lower the total money remaining on a contract. After this season, Strasburg’s contract had an average annual value of $35 million for three more years.A three-time all-star, Strasburg leaves the sport with a 113-62 record, a 3.24 ERA and 1,723 strikeouts in 247 regular season starts, each of them with Washington.
Strasburg continues to deal with “severe nerve damage,” according to three people with knowledge of his situation. He has struggled with mundane tasks, such as lifting his young daughters or opening a door with his right hand. Last summer, when he tried and failed to return — before that final start in Miami — Strasburg sometimes couldn’t stand for long without his hand going completely numb. To cope with it, he would lie down on his side and press his hand against his chest.Those close to him quietly worried more about his life beyond pitching again. And Strasburg kept grappling with his baseball mortality.“Every time I’ve had an injury, I felt like I was going to be the best there is coming back,” he said in an interview with The Washington Post last September.
