This has been brewing since the start of the week. The Nationals and Stephen Strasburg are still hammering out details of his retirement terms, so an official announcement will come at a later date. Strasburg’s plans have not changed.
Dougherty adds:
To clarify: The Nationals were only planning to hold a press conference on Saturday, not anything to honor Stephen Strasburg on the field. There have been discussions about retiring his number next season, according to multiple people within the organization.
