The Brewers declined Jansen's $12 million mutual option for 2026 on Monday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
He'll be given a $500,000 buyout instead. Jansen slashed .215/.321/.399 with 14 home runs over 98 regular-season contests between the Rays and Brewers in 2025 and the 30-year-old catcher will now enter the free-agent market.
