The Milwaukee Brewers boosted their bench by acquiring catcher Danny Jansen from the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for infield prospect Jadher Areinamo on Monday night. Matt Arnold and the Brewers' front office continue to find value where Brewers fans least expect it, electing to start their 2025 trade deadline with an upgrade at the backup catcher position.
While Jansen may not have been on many fans' radars prior to the Brewers acquiring him two days ago, he offers an intriguing skillset and should help fill a gap that previously existed on the team's roster.
