Top first-half story of 2016: Nationals sign Stephen Strasburg to 7-year/$175M extension

Was there a bigger story in the first half of the 2016 campaign than the Washington Nationals and Stephen Strasburg agreeing on a 7-year/$175M extension? Maybe the start that Strasburg has gotten off to in the first year of that deal...

With his win in New York last Friday, Stephen Strasburg improved to (12-0) in 16 starts this season, with a 2.62 ERA, a 2.97 FIP, 31 walks (2.62 BB/9), 132 Ks (11.14 K/9) and a .199/.264/.320 line against in 106 u2154 innings pitched.

Strasburg extended his personal winning streak to 15-straight starts in that outing against the Mets, which is tied for the second-longest unbeaten streak by a starting pitcher in Washington, D.
