Ownership
Eligibility
Kevin Kiermaier is unlikely to be traded despite being shopped earlier this offseason. MLB Network's Jon Heyman mentioned that the Rays love his presence in the clubhouse and his glove in centerfield.
Fantasy Impact
The three-time gold glove winner struggled in 2020, slashing .217/.321/.362 with three home runs, 22 RBI, and eight stolen bases over 138 at-bats. Kiermaier is scheduled to make $11.5 million in 2021 and that appears to be a price the Rays are willing to pay at this point.
Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times says Rays OF Kevin Kiermaier could be a trade candidate this offseason.
Fantasy Impact
Kiermaier is scheduled to make $11.5 million in 2021, which could prove steep for the cash-strapped Rays. Still a defensive wizard, Kiermaier hit just .217/.321/.362 during the shortened 2020 campaign.

He then later hit a singled off Kenley Jansen in the bottom of the ninth, and scored the game-tying run on a Brett Phillips' walk-off RBI single. Kiemaier is hitting .224 (11-for-49) with three home runs, seven RBI, seven runs over 16 games this postseason.

He has been dealing with a sore wrist, but was deemed "good to go" for the World Series. Kiermaier is hitting .231 (9-for-39) with two home runs, six RBI and five runs scored over 14 games this postseason.
