The Chicago Cubs acquired catcher Matt Thaiss from the Angels to boost their catching depth.

The Chicago Cubs have acquired catcher Matt Thaiss from the Los Angeles Angels for cash, aiming to boost their catching depth. Thaiss, a 30-year-old first-round pick in 2016, has had limited success in the majors. To make room for Thaiss, the Cubs designated right-hander Trey Wingenter for assignment. This move is seen as a stopgap measure as the Cubs continue to search for a more established catcher.
