2024 Fantasy Outlook
Kiermaier proved to be a good fit in Toronto last season and will return to the club on a one-year, $10 million deal for 2024. While not known for his durability, Kiermaier appeared in 129 games last season, matching the second-highest total of his career. His .419 SLG was his highest mark since 2017 and Kiermaier provided value on the bases, swiping 14 bags in 15 tries. He won a Gold Glove in center field last season at 33 years old -- his fourth Gold Glove -- and added multiple catches to his silly career highlight reel. That defense will keep him on the field, and Kiermaier handles himself well enough against lefty pitching to avoid a strict platoon, though health remains a big concern. If he manages to stay upright, a return to double-digit homers and steals is not out of the question. Read Past Outlooks

Hits homer in loss
Kiermaier went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Mariners.
ANALYSIS
Kiermaier got Toronto on the board in the sixth inning, but his homer was the team's lone run. The outfielder appears to be in a timeshare in center field with Daulton Varsho, though Kiermaier's main attribute is his defense. For the year, Kiermaier sports a .191/.234/.299 slash line with three homers, 13 RBI, 17 runs scored and five stolen bases across 171 plate appearances.

Stat Review
How does Kevin Kiermaier compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Kiermaier required hip surgery and was limited to 63 games last season, and the Rays declined his $13 million team option for 2023. He then landed a one-year, $9 million deal with the Blue Jays. He remains a strong defensive presence in center field and has a 96 wRC+ over the past three seasons with 23 steals during that stretch. That's mostly the limit of Kiermaier's fantasy appeal as he's hit above .250 just once in the past five years, and he's unlikely to rack up much for counting stats at the bottom of Toronto's order. He's not expected to fill a platoon, so he'll at least be a lineup regular to start the season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Likely trade chip
According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the Blue Jays are expected to put Kiermaier on the trade block.
ANALYSIS
The veteran outfielder re-signed with Toronto on a one-year, $10.5 million contract in December, so he's an obvious candidate to be traded given the expiring contract. Kiermaier has been unable to maintain a regular place in the lineup this season as he's struggled offensively with a .190/.233/.281 slash line and 33.5 percent strikeout rate through 63 games. The Blue Jays may need to pay down some salary in order to move Kiermaier, given his struggles at the plate.
