TORONTO, CANADA (SNN-TV) – Veteran center fielder and longtime Rays star, Kevin Kiermaier, will remain in the AL East after agreeing to a deal with the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday.
Kiermaier, a three-time Gold Glove winner with the Rays, joins a new-look outfield that lost right fielder Teoscar Hernandez in a trade with the Seattle Mariners last month.
Kiermaier headed into free agency after Tampa Bay declined his $13M option. He has had injury issues in his career, and in August, he underwent labrum surgery.
