Former Blue Jays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier speaks on new coaching job
Former Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier made it clear a couple weeks ago that he wants to work with all 30 MLB teams instead of only one.
Kiermaier took to social media to post a video directed towards all MLB teams that he wants to be an outfielder specialist that every team bring in when they need help with a few players defensive game.
Kevin Kiermaier speaks with Kevin Pillar about a new job with multiple MLB teams
The Foul Territory podcast brought on Kiermaier last night to discuss the message he sent out last week to MLB teams about wanting to work with their outfielders without holding a position with just one team.
During the interview with Kevin Pillar, Kiermaier stated that he believes many teams work on drills with their outfielders that don't actually help and he wants to get involved to actually work on things that will benefit the team on the field.
"I feel like there are so many drills still done to this day that are just eyewash and not making guys better."

A team such as the Blue Jays could certainly benefit from bringing Kiermaier in especially with all of their young outfielders currently on the roster.
