After the Angels designated Thaiss for assignment Nov. 14, he was traded to the Cubs on Wednesday in exchange for cash considerations. Unless the Cubs make another move in the offseason, Thaiss is projected to serve as the backup catcher to Miguel Amaya. Thaiss slashed .204/.323/.299 with two home runs and 16 RBI over 186 plate appearances during the 2024 regular season with the Angels.</p> </article> <article id="team-news-5206805" class="c-alert"> <header class="c-alert__header"> <div class="c-alert__meta"> <time class="c-alert__date" datetime="2024-11-22T20:53:04-05:00"> November 22, 2024 </time> <h3 class="c-alert__title"> <span class="c-alert__player__nolink"> Keegan Thompson </span> : Avoids arbitration </h3> </div> <div class="c-alert__image c-alert__image--rounded"> <img src="https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/940x940-crop_3f03b0.png?w=100" alt="Avoids arbitration" width="50" height="50" loading="lazy" /> </div> </header> <p class="c-alert__excerpt">Thompson agreed to a contract with the Cubs to avoid arbitration on Friday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Rather than pay him a raise in arbitration, the team is removing him from the roster now.
