Tampa Bay Rays and catcher Danny Jansen finalize $8.5 million, 1-year contract
Veteran catcher Danny Jansen and the Tampa Bay Rays have finalized an $8.5 million, one-year contract. The deal includes a $12 million mutual option for 2026 with a $500,000 buyout. Jansen, who turns 30 in April, hit .205 with nine homers and 24 RBIs last season for Toronto and Boston, which acquired him from the Blue Jays on July 27. He made headlines when he played for both teams in the same suspended game — a first in major league history. Jansen even batted for both clubs in the same inning of a rain-delayed contest he started for Toronto in June before it was completed in late August. A seven-year major league veteran, Jansen has a .220 batting average with 74 homers and 220 RBIs for Toronto and Boston.
