White Sox acquire catcher Matt Thaiss from Cubs in a cash deal, adding depth to their roster.

The Chicago White Sox have acquired 29-year-old catcher Matt Thaiss from the Chicago Cubs in a cash deal. Thaiss, formerly with the Los Angeles Angels, has a career batting line of .208/.313/.342 and will likely serve as a backup to Korey Lee. The move adds depth to the White Sox's catching corps, while the Cubs made the trade to free up a roster spot.
