Blue Jays Shock Fans By Placing Kevin Kiermaier on Waivers

baseball - Kevin Kiermaier - MLB - Toronto Blue Jays

Find out why the Toronto Blue Jays made this surprising move with outfielder Kevin Kiermaier!

The Toronto Blue Jays have stunned fans by placing outfielder Kevin Kiermaier on revocable waivers. Kiermaier, who had a quality year with Toronto last season, rejoined the team on a one-year deal over the winter but has been struggling this season. The goal behind putting Kiermaier on waivers seems to be to have another team claim him and take on the remainder of his salary.

Toronto almost certainly wanted to see if a team would put in a claim on the veteran center fielder and remove about $4.5 million left on the $10.5 million contract. Kiermaier, a Gold Glove outfielder, was notified of the move by manager John Schneider following a game against the San Francisco Giants. Despite being on waivers, Kiermaier will remain with the Blue Jays for the time being.

In a surprising twist, the Blue Jays are taking a bold step by potentially parting ways with a seasoned player like Kiermaier. It will be intriguing to see if any other team decides to claim him and add his talent to their roster. This move could open up opportunities for both Kiermaier and the Blue Jays in the ever-competitive world of baseball.
