Sounds like they’re paying him to go away. No doubt to avoid another bullshit lawsuit from him if they fired him outright

“MLB and Hernández had spent the past two weeks negotiating a financial settlement before reaching a resolution over the weekend.”

What a disaster he’s been for so long. It’s one thing for an ump to miss calls, but he regularly seemed not to care.
Next man up!

Worst umpire ever. The guy was just awful at his job and protected by the union.

Kyle Schwarber needs to do the Dance of Joy with

the opposing starting pitcher at home plate before tonight's first pitch.

If I'm MLB I would say fuck a settlement.

Just try to fire him and deal with a potential lawsuit. There are so many metrics over many years that back up that decision.

Even with Unions, there are protocols to reach that point, which it doesn't seem MLB has done. And, if it is this difficult, then this is something MLB and MLBPA needs to address in the next contract.
For your enjoyment a twitter thread of some of Angel's greatest hits..

My personal fav is punching out Wyatt Langford on three strikes that were literally all balls.
