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.

Saquon Barkley didn’t get the long-term contract extension he sought this offseason, and faces a running back in a similar boat in Sunday night’s marquee season opener.
No one in professional golf was more outspokenly against LIV Golf and its Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) backing than Rory McIlroy. The keyword in that last sentence is ‘was.’
Now that the PGA Tour has announced plans to merge with the PIF giving the Saudis an influential seat at the table of professional golf, McIlroy’s tune has changed quite a bit.
This isn’t to say that McIlroy has simply given up on his morals or even on board with the Saudis getting involved in professional golf.
McIlroy is simply living in reality.

Daly took a break from the Pro-Am on Wednesday at the Ascension Charity Classic to show fans that he’s still got it.
John Daly still has incredible leg strength. He recreated his iconic 1992 50-yard field goal video this week at the Ascension Charity Classic in St. Louis.
“He’s still got it,” the PGA Tour Champions captioned the video. Daly didn’t quite boot it 50 yards, but it was still an incredible effort from the barefooted golfer.
He wasn’t barefoot 30 years ago. Maybe this one was even more impressive.
He’s still got it.
