"On Dec. 6, 2024, Jansen signed with the Tampa Bay Rays , the third AL East team he's played for in his career. In 259 plate appearances with the Rays, the Wisconsin native slashed .204/.314/.389 with 11 home runs in 259 plate appearances, along with a 12.7 BB% and 26.3 K%. With the Rays, Jansen was a slightly below-average hitter (98 wRC+) and a mixed bag on defence,"
"For the second consecutive trade deadline, Jansen was on the move again, as the Rays sent him to the Milwaukee Brewers, his home-state team. Serving as the backup to William Contreras for the Brewers, Jansen slashed .254/.346/.433 with three home runs in 78 plate appearances, with an 11.5 BB% and 23.1 K% for a 119 wRC+. Although he was announced on the National League Divisional and Championship Series, Jansen didn't appear in the postseason for the Brewers."
Jansen was drafted by the Blue Jays in the 16th round of the 2013 draft and made his big-league debut in 2018, becoming a regular in 2019. He established peak value in 2022, slashing .260/.339/.516 with 15 homers, a 141 wRC+ and 2.7 fWAR, then hit a career-high 17 homers in 2023 despite injury. He signed with the Tampa Bay Rays on Dec. 6, 2024, slashed .204/.314/.389 with 11 homers in 259 plate appearances in 2025, was traded to the Brewers and hit .254/.346/.433 in 78 plate appearances, finishing 2025 with a .215/.321/.399 line, 14 homers, 103 wRC+ and 1.3 fWAR while showing mixed defensive outcomes.
