Kevin Kiermaier Joins MLB Network

Toronto Blue J's stories, making news on March 18th.

Former Toronto Blue J's outfielder Kevin Kiermeyer has a new gig lined up at MLB Network

as an analyst for the 2026 season.

This comes after he mentioned wanting to be a roving outfield coach earlier in the

offseason.

It's his first full-time media job following a 13-year big league career that wrapped up

at the end of 2024.

Kiermeyer will appear on several studio shows with his debut set for March 25th.

He'll join the coverage of opening night on MLB tonight.

Right after the New York Yankees faced the San Francisco Giants, he'll work alongside

hosts like Adnan Burke and Chris Young, a standout defender, Kiermeyer earned four goal-gloves

awards and one platinum glove over his career.

He spent time with the raise, Blue J's, and Dodgers, including a year and a half in

Toronto where he won a goal glove in 2023.

The J's traded him mid-2024 to the Dodgers for pitcher Ryan Yarbrough, and he retired

after their World Series win.

At MLB Network, he'll team up with other ex-players like Yonder Alonzo, Sean Casey, Harold Reynolds,

Jake Peevy, and Chris Young.

His flexibility from a recent instructor role with the J's made this transition smooth.
