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.
"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."
