Last month, it was revealed pitcher Stephen Strasburg was finished playing after a string of injuries and thoracic outlet syndrome.

His Washington Nationals were reportedly going to honor the pitcher in a retirement ceremony, but plans have apparently changed.

Strasburg is technically not yet retired and is under contract for another three years. But with uncertainty surrounding specific contract terms, the ceremony fell through, according to The Washington Post.

The righty, for a brief time, held the MLB record for the most lucrative contract ever given to a pitcher when he signed a seven-year, $245 million deal in December 2019.

New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole (nine years, $324 million) broke that mark just a few days later in a wild offseason.

Strasburg, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2009 MLB Draft, was fresh off a World Series MVP and a fifth-place finish in the NL Cy Young Award voting.

But after inking that deal, he made just eight starts the rest of his career — two in 2020, five in 2021 and one last year.

Strasburg reportedly began suffering from "severe nerve damage," and, at one point, he "couldn’t stand for long before his right hand went numb."
