Stephen Strasburg is officially retiring from the Washington #Nats, as @barrysvrluga reports. He is in the 4th year of a seven-year, $245 million contract.

Well so much for that thought: [Bob Nightengale] Stephen Strasburg will continue be paid $35 million annually through 2026 (with about $11.4M deferred each year). He then will receive $26.6M in 2027, 2028 and 2029 in his owed deferred payments. The contract was not insured, leaving the #Nats on the hook for its entirety.
