Stephen Strasburg, World Series hero for Nationals, officially retires after injuries
nydailynews.com/2024/04/07/stephen-strasburg-world-series-retires-injuries/
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: Challenges in Ryan Reynolds' Funding of Wrexham
- After losing £5 million in the year of their promotion to the English Football League, Wrexham now owe nearly $17 million to Hollywood owners Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds.
- Despite the increased turnover to almost £10.5 million, they stated that the financial losses since McElhenney and Reynolds took over in February 2021 are unlikely to recur due to the income now generated by the League Two club.
- The club is not under immediate pressure to repay these loans at the expense of the progress they seek to achieve, and additional financial support will be provided to assist the club's planned investment projects.
- The Hollywood duo recently installed a new temporary stand at the Racecourse Ground, and Wrexham is aiming for a second consecutive promotion. They are currently third in League Two with seven games remaining.
