Stephen Strasburg, World Series hero for Nationals, officially retires ...
Quick Glance: Stephen Strasburg concludes successful baseball career
  • The former World Series MVP and Washington Nationals icon, Stephen Strasburg, has officially announced his retirement from baseball, as indicated on the MLB's transaction page.

  • Before the news was published in the transaction column, there were no public announcements made by either the Nationals or Strasburg regarding the decision.

  • As per information provided to Andrew Golden of the Washington Post, Strasburg will defer an unspecified portion of his remaining salary as part of the agreement.

  • In 2009, Washington selected Strasburg as the first overall pick from San Diego State, and he made his Major League debut in less than a year. During his highly anticipated MLB debut at the sold-out Nationals Park, Strasburg struck out 14 batters in seven innings, creating one of the franchise's initial iconic moments since relocating to the capital from Montreal.

Quick Glance: Ippei Mizuhara Remains Free Despite Bank Fraud Charges on $25,000 Bond
  • Former interpreter for baseball star Shohei Ohtani from the Los Angeles Dodgers surrendered to authorities and later appeared before the U.S. District Court.

  • Ippei Mizuhara turned himself in on Friday and was subsequently released on an unsecured $25,000 bond, commonly referred to as a signature bond. This arrangement allowed Mizuhara to secure his release without needing to provide any cash or collateral.

  • United States Magistrate Judge Maria A. Audero also stipulated that Mizuhara must undergo treatment for his gambling addiction related to the sports betting scandal. Prosecutors alleged that he exploited his personal and professional connection with Ohtani to steal over $16 million from the player's bank account by occasionally posing as Ohtani to bankers to cover his gambling expenses.

  • On Friday, Mizuhara only responded to the judge's inquiries by answering 'yes' when Audero asked him if he comprehended various aspects of the case and his bond conditions.
