"The No. 16 overall pick in the 2016 draft, Thaiss did not develop as hoped during his time in the Angels organization, ultimately hitting .208/.313/.342 in 771 plate appearances over six seasons."
"Thaiss has never had an OPS+ better than 86, which he enjoyed in his rookie season in 2019. But he's already up to an OPS+ of 112 through 29 games."
In 2025, the Chicago White Sox continue to struggle with a poor record, despite having new players on the team. Starting catcher Matt Thaiss, recently acquired, has emerged as a standout performer, offering the team valuable trade potential. After previously underperforming in the Angels organization, Thaiss is thriving in his new role, boasting a 112 OPS+ with more walks than strikeouts. Analysts view him as a significant upgrade for teams needing improved production behind the plate, especially since he has club control through 2027 and a low salary this season.
