Nationals Ace Stephen Strasburg's Career in Jeopardy Due to Severe Nerve Damage

  • Strasburg has been unable to rehabilitate or physically participate in any activities for over a month due to severe nerve damage.
  • There are doubts within the Nationals organization that Strasburg will ever pitch again.
  • The Nationals did not purchase disability insurance for Strasburg's contract, leaving them on the hook for the remaining $245 million even if he never pitches again.
  • Strasburg has only made eight starts since signing a seven-year, $245 million contract with the Nationals in December 2019.
  • Strasburg's future as a pitcher remains uncertain, though he hopes resting will help improve his nerve conditions.
