[Bass] Kevin Kiermaier has been hired by Tampa Bay as a consultant, focusing on outfield. Today he was working with Chandler Simpson, among others, and will be helping out all season long. Kiermaier was a special assistant for the Blue Jays last year after retiring in 2024.

1. Even in the offseason, the Rays find ways to piss me off.

3. It’s clear he was interested in a job like this from the moment he retired. Happy for the guy.

4. Basically gets the bag, can work for multiple teams and make his own schedule.

5. Fuck. The. Trop.

15. Great, we lose stupid sexy Kevin and now he might turn Simpson into a defensive demon.

16. Congratulations to KK. I’ll be interested to see how Simpson’s defensive game improves

17. Hey, he was open about wanting a role like this with whoever was wanting to work with him, and he gave the Jays first dibs and the Rays second dibs. I respect it.

18. They can have him, we didn’t want him anyway.

20. The dude was a Ray muchhh much longer than he was ever with us. Good luck to him.
