    He's not giving up the money on the last year of his contract. To think he will is crazy talk.

    And he’ll more than likely tell the Astros no. His contract is guaranteed, he will not leave money on the table.

    I'm sure he will be willing to retire if Crane pays off his contract.

    What I meant was they would offer to pay his last year. If they really thought he was toast.

    What was the deal with Strasburg and his retirement? He reached a deal with the Nationals. Does his money come off the books for them? Can McCullers retire after a settlement (Crane still pays him all the money) and then have his salary off the books giving them more room before they hit the tax line??

    Or can he retire but then get hired as a coach or advisor for the amount he was owed???

    Strasbourg was medical as far as I know and they agreed to a settlement I think his money comes off the books once it's completed in entirety
