Cubs Strengthen Catching Roster with Matt Thaiss Trade
The Chicago Cubs have acquired catcher Matt Thaiss from the Los Angeles Angels in exchange for cash considerations, adding depth to their roster after previously having only one catcher. Thaiss, originally an infielder, has struggled offensively and defensively in his MLB career, with a batting average of .208 and limited experience as a catcher. The Cubs designated Trey Wingenter for assignment to make room for Thaiss, who is seen as a potential partner for Miguel Amaya. Further roster moves may still occur.
