Yeah, but it's strange, I don't even know if it's because of baseball.

He signed a $245 million, seven-year contract in December 2019 but threw only 528 pitches over 31 1/3 innings in the majors after that, going 1-4 with a 6.89 ERA. He had surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome, a nerve and blood disorder that led to the removal of a rib and two neck muscles.

One of the rare kids that I heard of before he hit the majors and that's a pretty small list, Ken Griffey Jr., Bryce Harper, can't think of too many more.  The hype that first time summer was pretty amazing.

Guess the official retirement means him and nats figured out how to pay out the rest of his contract(he hasn't played since 2022).

Removal of a rib?   Self-fellatio fan?
