The Milwaukee Brewers have traded for catcher Danny Jansen from the Tampa Bay Rays. Minor league infielder Jadher Areinamo was sent to the Rays in exchange for Jansen. Jansen, an Appleton West High School graduate, provides catching depth while William Contreras recovers from a fractured finger.

To fill his role in Tampa Bay, the Rays appear reportedly acquiring one of the Marlins catchers Nick Fortes; the fish had three catchers on the major league roster with a top prospect in the wings. At the plate Fortes has a career 70 wRC+ with both low walk and low strikeout rates, but you don’t acquire this sort of catcher for his bat.
