The Nationals have canceled Stephen Strasburg’s retirement press conference on Saturday as the two sides renegotiate the terms of the 35-year-old’s retirement, The Athletic’s Britt Ghiroli reports.
Strasburg reportedly decided to retire last month after struggling to return from thoracic outlet syndrome that he first suffered in 2021. According to Ghiroli, Washington first approached Strasburg about paying the full amount of his remaining contract, but have since decided to try and change the terms of the agreement.
Ghiroli also reported that Strasburg has dealt with nerve damage and is “100 percent disabled.”
