MLB and Hernandez had spent the past two weeks negotiating a financial settlement before reaching a resolution over the weekend.
Hernandez, 62, worked his last game May 9 as the home-plate umpire in the Chicago White Sox's 3-2 victory over the Cleveland Guardians at Guaranteed Rate Field and never came back, replaced on the crew by Jacob Metz.
Sounds like a negotiated termination with severance. Finally we have found something that can unite baseball fans everywhere.
