Sean Doolittle was just like all of us on Friday.
The World Series-winning reliever saw the NHL’s first day of free agency unfold and noticed that his friend Braden Holtby, the Capitals’ best goaltender in franchise history, signed a free-agent contract with the Vancouver Canucks. Doolittle took to Twitter to say goodbye and thank Holtby for his work in DC.
Sean Doolittle returned to Twitter on Thursday to post a long message thanking Washington Nationals fans for their support over the last four seasons.

Sean Doolittle spoke to reporters after working out at Nationals Park on Sunday. The Nationals’ relief pitcher spoke about how he’s still unsure if he’ll play in the MLB’s coronavirus-shortened 2020 season and will opt-out if at any point he feels unsafe.
Doolittle also responded very thoughtfully to recent reports that some MLB team owners are considering allowing fans back into stadiums later in the season. Doolittle talked about how the coronavirus pandemic is spiraling out of control in the United States’ and the country has essentially given up its fight against COVID-19.

The Washington Nationals, who are owned by the Lerner Family (estimated net worth of $4.3 billion), planned to cut their already-meager, weekly minor-league stipends by 25 percent from $400 to $300 in June.
Once Nationals players found out about the pay cut, they held a Zoom meeting, according to The Athletic’s Brittany Ghiroli, and decided to make up for those lost wages out of their own pockets.
Nationals reliever Sean Doolittle made the announcement Sunday night.
The Washington Nationals beat the Houston Astros 6-2 in Game Seven of the World Series to become world champions for the first time. In the locker room, they tried to drink out of the Commissioners’ Trophy like it was the Stanley Cup – at some point bending three of its flags. On November 2, the team paraded down Constitution Avenue. The next evening the players filed into a party bus and drove into the underbelly of Capital One Arena to celebrate at a Capitals game.
“That was the best night for me,” Adam Eaton said in an interview on the RMNB Podcast. “I loved the parade but this was better than the parade. The reason it was better than the parade was because — no offense to the families — it was the last time that we could have everybody together. Just the boys. It was the roster. There was no wives, no kids, no nothing. It was just the boys. Let’s go.”
