Texas Rangers Sign Catcher Danny Jansen to Two-Year Deal
ARLINGTON, TX – The Texas Rangers have agreed to terms with free agent catcher Danny Jansen on a two-year, $14.5 million contract, according to a report by Robert Murray of FanSided. The deal also includes $1 million in potential bonuses.
The move comes as the Rangers look to bolster their catching depth after non-tendering Jonah Heim following two seasons of declining performance. This marks the second consecutive offseason where the Rangers have added a catcher on a two-year contract, having previously signed Kyle Higashioka to a $13.5 million deal last winter.
Jansen, formerly of the Toronto Blue Jays, is expected to split playing time with Higashioka in the upcoming 2026 season. While known for his ability to prevent passed balls, Jansen’s offensive output and defensive metrics, such as framing and controlling the running game, have been league average.
The Rangers are now expected to focus on bolstering their bullpen and adding a starting pitcher with upside, with potential targets including Dustin May, Walker Buehler, Jordan Montgomery, and Patrick Corbin. They may also look to add bench depth with a right-handed bat.
