Matt Thaiss Traded from White Sox to Rays on May 27, 2025
Matt Thaiss, a left-handed hitting catcher, has been traded from the Chicago White Sox to the Rays.
What It Means
In the current season, the player has played 35 games and started 27. He has a batting average of .212 and an OPS of 0.676. With 18 hits in 85 at-bats, he has hit one home run and driven in eight runs. His performance in the last 10 games shows a batting average of .142 with one RBI and a stolen base.
The arrival of a new catcher might influence the Rays' depth chart at that position. Danny Jansen and Ben Rortvedt currently share duties behind the plate. The team faces the Minnesota Twins at home on May 27, 2025, at George M. Steinbrenner Field, where the new addition may make an impact.
