White Sox Acquire Catcher Matt Thaiss from Cubs in Cash Deal

The 29-year-old catcher joins a crowded White Sox catching roster after a brief stint with the Cubs.

The Chicago White Sox acquired catcher Matt Thaiss from the Cubs on Tuesday in exchange for cash considerations.
Thaiss, a left-handed hitter, spent six MLB seasons with the Los Angeles Angels before being acquired by the Cubs in November 2024.
In 2024, Thaiss hit .204/.323/.299 with two home runs and 16 RBIs over 57 games for the Angels.
The White Sox recently bolstered their catching depth by acquiring top prospect Kyle Teel in a trade with the Boston Red Sox last week.
Thaiss will compete for a role alongside Korey Lee, Chuckie Robinson, and prospects Edgar Quero and Kyle Teel as part of the White Sox's catching mix in 2025.
