Wire Taps: Washington Nationals’ free agent targets; Sean Doolittle decision; Jim Hickey stories + more...

Has Sean Doolittle thrown his last inning in relief for the Nationals? He’s set to become a free agent for the first time this winter. Doolittle said he plans to spend in Seattle, WA at Driveline, working to get healthy after he struggled with injuries and his mechanics in a frustrating 2020 campaign.

“I’ve just been thinking about how incredibly grateful I’ve been to be a part of this group, to win a World Series with this organization and this group of people,” Doolittle told reporters in late September.

“Not just my teammates, my teammates are amazing, you guys know I love my teammates, but like the people here in the organization, the medical staff, the trainers, the strength coaches, the whole coaching staff, the support staff that we have back there in the clubhouse, winning a World Series with them and then grinding out a weird 2020 with those people, there’s not another group that I would have wanted to do that with, so it’s been a privilege.
