Former Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier is looking to expand his coaching footprint in 2026 after spending a year helping out the Jays in modified fashion.

Kieramier, who was an exceptional outfield defender, says he would like to help revolutionize outfield defense and he'd like to work with all 30 teams and with minor leaguers.

He put the following message out on social media on Monday:

To all 30 MLB teams out there. Im bein creative here but just need to get the word out. I wanna revolutionize outfield defense on many levels. No one loves loves this stuff like I do! I wanna change players lives/careers by maximizing defensive potential! My obsession! Lets go!

He's saying that he wants to be a guest instructor for all 30 teams, similar to how if you had a hitting guru that would come and take trips to your hometown baseball team for a few days at a time.

On the positive side of things? Teams and players would get excellent instruction from a longtime big leaguer. He'd be able to be relatable for players and could certainly keep their attention. Still only 35 years old, he's also more than capable of still practicing what he preaches, which would help players see his coaching points in action.

On the negative side of things? Coaching staffs are very particular about the messages that their players get, and they may buy into a guy who comes in for just a few days at a time.

A 12-year veteran of the Tampa Bay Rays, Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers, Kiermaier was one of the best defenders of his generation. A four-time Gold Glover and a Platinum Glove winner, he spent 1.5 seasons in Toronto, taking home a Gold Glove Award in 2023.

The Blue Jays traded him during the 2024 season to the Dodgers for left-handed pitcher Ryan Yarbrough, who is now a member of the New York Yankees.

The Dodgers won the World Series in 2024 and Kiermaier retired at the end of the campaign. He became an instructor with the Jays, but he was flexible in his schedule and appearances, which is something he said he wanted.

A .246 career hitter, he had a .304 on-base percentage, hitting 95 home runs and stealing 132 bases.

He finished 17th in MVP voting during the 2015 season with Tampa Bay.
