The Tampa Bay Rays have traded catcher Danny Jansen

The two sides are in agreement on a trade, reports Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times.

We reported earlier today that Jansen would definitely be traded in the next three days and that Toronto maybe on of his destinations, however it looks like Jano is on his way to Milwaukee.

The Rays are working on a trade to acquire catcher Nick Fortes from the Marlins, reports Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.

It was reported earlier that the Rays are trading Danny Jansen to the Brewers for a prospect, while simultaneously working to trade for another catcher.

Robert Murray of FanSided reports that the Marlins would receive outfielder Matthew Etzel in this deal.

Milwaukee is sending one prospect back to Tampa Bay in the deal. Just as interestingly, Topkin adds that the Rays are working on a deal to acquire another catcher.

Catching wasn't a prominent need for the Brewers entering the season.

William Contreras has emerged as one of the best backstops in the sport, slashing .283/.363/.472 from 2022-24.

His once-panned defense has improved to premium levels in Milwaukee. However, Contreras has been playing through a fracture in his hand and struggled considerably at the dish this season, slashing just .242/.342/.340 this season.

Backup catcher Eric Haase hasn't picked up the slack with the bat. Over the past month, Contreras and Haase have combined to hit .228/.294/.289.

As the Brewers' catchers have struggled to increasing levels, Jansen has picked up the pace. He's hitting just .204/.314/.389 on the season overall, but that's dragged down by a brutal start to the year. Since May 11, he's batting .232/.321/.486 in 163 trips to the plate.
