Pitcher Stephen Strasburg is planning to retire after 13 seasons with the Washington Nationals, per the Washington Post's Jesse Dougherty and Barry Svrluga.
Strasburg, who last pitched in June 2022, has spent most of the last three seasons sidelined by injury.
The news of his impeding retirement earned heartfelt reactions from baseball fans who had hoped for three years that Strasburg would eventually be healthy enough to return to the form that made him the MVP of the 2019 World Series.
Evan Johnson @thevoiceofevanI don't think it's a stretch to say Stephen Strasburg had the most anticipated big league debut in Nationals history.
