Matt Thaiss was traded to the Tampa Bay Rays after hitting .212 with one homer and eight RBIs. His move comes as the White Sox focus on younger catching talent, with players like Edgar Quero making strides in the majors.

Thaiss has been a steady presence for the White Sox, contributing with solid defense and a high walk rate, making him a valuable asset behind the plate.

Matt Thaiss is one of the catchers on the White Sox's 40-man roster, facing competition from Omar Narvaez. Given Narvaez's veteran experience and potential to provide stability to the pitching staff, Thaiss may need to perform well in spring training to secure his spot on the team.
