Boston Red Sox Finalize Deal To Acquire Danny Jansen From Blue Jays
5 months agoThe Boston Red Sox have finalized a deal that will send Toronto Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen to Boston. The full details of the trade have yet to be disclosed, but one player that is confirmed to be heading back Toronto's way is infielder Cutter Coffey, a second round pick in 2022 that has been playing in Single-A Greenville this year and has posted a .784 OPS in 240 AB. Jansen has been having a down year by his standards, hitting for just a 90 OPS+ after hitting for a 114 OPS+ in 2023 and a 142 OPS+ in 2022. Boston appears to be looking to upgrade their backup catcher position though as Jansen's production far outweighs what they're receiving from Reese McGuire (60 OPS+). With Jansen having familiarity within the AL East already, fantasy managers should continue to expect his production to remain fairly consistent. His earliest chance to join the Red Sox will be Sunday against Yankees' starter Carlos Rodon.
