News about Kevin Kiermaier

After two separate events in Denver and Chicago this week, the former of which involved a gun being confiscated at Guaranteed Rate Field, Major League Baseball is being forced to deal with safety concerns. Kevin Kiermaier of the Toronto Blue Jays has been through similar situations before and after seeing Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acua being almost tackled by a pair of fans at Coors Field on Monday. 'I always hear the fans go wild out of nowhere,' Kiermaier said. 'One of these days, I feel like someone is just going to come running at me.' Although MLB is forecast to see a significant increase in attendance this year, two recent high-profile incidents raised concerns about players and fans inside and outside big league ballparks.

Kevin Kiermaier, a three-time Gold Glove winner, has apparently signed a new contract with the Toronto Blue Jays after the Tampa Bay Rays turned down the 32-year-old center fielder's team option earlier this week. Kiermaier was recalled after the Jays lost right fielder Teoscar Hernandez in last month's trade with the Seattle Mariners. Kiermaier's terms have not been disclosed, and team spokespeople did not respond right away to DailyMail.com's request for comment.
