The Milwaukee Brewers made a move Monday night to add power at the catcher position, acquiring Danny Jansen and cash from the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for minor league infielder Jadher Areinamo.
Jansen, who has 11 homers this year, will take the roster spot of Milwaukee backup catcher Eric Haase, who was designated for assignment as part of the transaction.
Jansen, 30, grew up in Appleton, Wis.
'I don't live too far (from Milwaukee), so that's going to be something that my wife and I have never experienced as a family,' Jansen said, according to MLB.com. 'I'm definitely excited to meet the new organization, and I've heard nothing but great things about them as well. I'm super grateful for my time here, and I'm excited for the next chapter as well.'
In 73 games for Tampa Bay this year, Jansen hit .204 with a .314 on-base percentage, a .389 slugging percentage and 29 RBIs.
Across 574 major league games for the Toronto Blue Jays (2018-24), the Boston Red Sox (2024) and Tampa Bay (2025), Jansen has a career hitting line of .218/.309/.415 with 85 home runs and 249 RBIs.
Haase, 32, hit .228/.278/.396 with two home runs and nine RBIs in 30 games for the Brewers in 2025. In 383 games for Cleveland (2018-19, 2023), Detroit (2020-23) and Milwaukee (2024-25), he owns a .228/.278/.396 slash line with 48 homers and 160 RBIs.
Areinamo, 21, was ranked as the Brewers' 24th-best prospect by MLB Pipeline. He hit .297/.355.463 with 11 homers, 51 RBIs and 15 stolen bases this season for high Class-A Wisconsin, which plays in Appleton.
