Sean Doolittle’s offseason started with travel commitments and making up to do. The Washington Nationals closer was going to hang around in the District for a bit before going to Florida, then likely Chicago. He and his now wife, Eireann Dolan, had decided to elope on an off day just before the playoffs began. So, they owe the family a party of some kind since there was no wedding.
When spring comes, Doolittle will be off to West Palm Beach, Florida. For the first time since 2013-14, the Nationals expect to have a still-capable closer in place in consecutive seasons.
