Wow.

Wash's full statement.  "I deeply regret that I've let down Rangers organization and our great fans."  That's an odd statement if he's not talking about this season's performance -- and I'm not sure he is.

Edit: GM Jon Daniels said at a hastily called 3:30 p.m. press conference that the decision to resign was "not drug related." (Washington tested positive for cocaine a few years ago.)
