Reports: Rangers Reach Two-Year Deal With Danny Jansen, Strike One-Year Pacts With Two Relievers

Texas targets help behind the plate to address a lingering roster gap.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report Jansen agreed to a two-year, $14.5 million contract, though the club has not announced the move.
  • Reports also indicate one-year agreements with relievers Alexis Díaz and Tyler Alexander, attributed to Mark Feinsand and Jeff Passan.
  • Jansen, 30, would share catching duties with Kyle Higashioka as the team shores up its depth behind the plate.
  • He hit .215/.321/.399 with 14 home runs in 2025 and is elite at blocking pitches, with 14 blocks above average last season and 72 since 2019, though his framing grades are weaker.
  • He has not topped 100 games since 2019 but appeared in 98 contests last season after avoiding the injured list, and the club has been linked to pursuing a younger catcher via trade.
