Molina triples in Puerto Rico's title series, having a blast playing ball during free agent waiting game

On his first swing for his second team of the past week, Yadier Molina tripled to straightaway center and ran his teammates 270 feet closer to Puerto Rico’s berth in the Caribbean Series.

One day he’s pitching, the next he’s tripling.

Who knew free agency would be such a blast?

Less than a week after he mused about retiring from baseball if the right offer doesn’t arrive, Molina has found ways to play a lot of baseball. He’s hopscotched from a cameo with his brother’s team to this week playing in the championship series of the Liga de Beisbol Profesional Roberto Clemente, Puerto Rico’s winter ball league.
