In a hilarious turn of events, Bette Midler, an actress and singer who is perhaps best known for her extensive musical and cinematic careers, tweeted that the Toronto Blue Jays, who just released shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, are actually paying him $38 million to not play baseball. Middler, 73, adds that for that money, she would also not play baseball. Actually, she’d do it for $37 million!
She refers to Tulowitzki as one of the Blue Jays’ “former stars” and adds that she’s “also available to not play baseball”. The tweet was retweeted over 300 times within four hours of originally being posted.
