Doolittle, who is a proud socialist, signed a five-year $10.5 million contract in 2014, and is making $1.5 million a year with $2.1 million in incentives since coming onto the Nationals. Since first hitting the big leagues, this socialist has earned approximately $22 million. Pretty good for a commie, huh?
But Doolittle is aggrieved, you see. He is upset that MLB players don’t get enough of the cash from the league’s annual revenue.
He was also one of those players furious that the league was making them play during the COVID hysteria.
Doolittle also spoke out in favor of gun control in the wake of shooting in Uvalde, Texas.
