What a horrible last month or so for Angels fans. Struggle after a trade deadline where you were buyers instead of getting something in return for Ohtani. Ohtani has a rough month where he ultimately has a torn UCL. Trout goes back on the IL this night as well. Who knows what the team looks like next season. Sorry Angels bros!
Well so much for that thought: [Bob Nightengale] Stephen Strasburg will continue be paid $35 million annually through 2026 (with about $11.4M deferred each year). He then will receive $26.6M in 2027, 2028 and 2029 in his owed deferred payments. The contract was not insured, leaving the #Nats on the hook for its entirety.
