Danny Jansen will officially become the first MLB player ever to play for 2 teams in the same game with a wacky scenario

Earlier this month, we told you about how current Boston Red Sox catcher Danny Jansen had the chance to become the first MLB player to ever play for two teams in the same game.

Now, it’s actually going to happen.

As you might recall: The Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays played in a game suspended by rain that was scheduled to resume on August 26. Between those dates, Jansen was dealt from the Blue Jays to the Red Sox. With Boston manager Alex Cora making it official that Jansen will sub in for Reese McGuire at catcher, he’ll make MLB history.

And here’s the wild scenario: Jansen was a the plate for the last game. Now, he’ll have to be pitch-hit for, AND he’ll be catching behind the plate for that moment. META!
