The Milwaukee Brewers continue to prove why they’re one of the most forward-thinking front offices in baseball. In yet another quietly brilliant move, they secured catcher Danny Jansen from the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for infield prospect Jadher Areinamo, an acquisition that not only shores up their big league depth but also sends a clear message about the near future of one of the organization’s most exciting prospects.
Jansen arrives as a savvy veteran presence, a proven offensive contributor behind the plate who brings postseason experience and a reliable bat. In a corresponding but expected move, the Brewers designated Eric Haase for assignment, officially clearing the backup catcher role for Jansen.
