The Angels acquired catcher Chuckie Robinson from the Chicago White Sox for cash considerations, providing depth behind Logan O'Hoppe and Travis d'Arnaud, while opting to designate Matt Thaiss.
Robinson, who has a career .723 OPS in the minors, struggled in the majors with a .132 batting average. His defensive metrics and ability to be optioned make him valuable for the Angels.
The Angels' minor-league catching depth was a concern, particularly with their top prospect, Juan Flores, still a teenager and last seen at Class-A, necessitating this move for Robinson.
In making room for Robinson, the Angels designated right-hander Davis Daniel for assignment, showcasing their decision to prioritize capturing defensive reliability over pitching in their roster management.
