Kevin Kiermaier says he intends to retire at the end of the season.

The Toronto Blue Jays outfielder is hitting .191 with four home runs and 18 RBIs in 77 games. 

He signed a one-year, $10.5 million contract with the Blue Jays last winter.

\"I\'m more than happy,\" Kiermaier said. \"I\'m at peace with my decision. The year is not over yet. Who knows what\'s left in store?\"

Kiermaier and his wife are expecting their third child in December, and the veteran said he\'s excited to be a full-time father for a while after he finishes playing.

However, he also said he\'d \"definitely\" be interested in a part-time coaching role if the right opportunity comes along.
