Paul Molitor leaves the Milwaukee Brewers to sign a free agent contract with the Toronto Blue Jays

On December 7, 1992, Paul Molitor leaves the Milwaukee Brewers, sinning a 2 year $8.5 dollar free agent contract with the Toronto Blue Jays. Molitor, who had spent the first 15 years of his career in Milwaukee, batted .320 and stole 31 bases for the Brewers in 1992. Molitor would be quoted as saying,”I still have a lot of baseball left to play. I regret it won’t be in a Brewers uniform.” The 36 year old will go to hit .313 over the next 5 years, win a world series, a world series MVP and collect over 1,000 hits. He entered the 3,000 hit club and will be elected into the Hall of Fame his first year on the ballet.

In 1993, Molitor will help the Blue Jays repeat as World Champions in 1993 hitting .332 with a career high 22 homeruns and 111 RBI’s. He will win the World Series MVP while batting .500, and chipped with a 390 BA during the ALCS.
