Cubs Acquire Matt Thaiss
Briefly

"The Angels decided to move on from Matt Thaiss after signing Travis d'Arnaud to a two-year deal, prompting Thaiss to be designated for assignment."
"Matt Thaiss leaves the Angels for the first time since being drafted 16th overall in 2016, showcasing his offensive potential in the minor leagues but struggling in the majors."
"With a major league line of .208/.313/.342 over 771 plate appearances, Thaiss's production was acceptable as a backup catcher but not for a corner infielder."
"Despite showing promise as a hitter in the minors, Thaiss's lack of defensive skills and crowded roster contributed to his trade to the Cubs."
