THAISS TRADED TO THE CUBS

The Chicago Cubs acquired catcher/first baseman Matt Thaiss from the Los Angeles Angels for cash.

What does it give the Chicago Cubs
In Thaiss, the Cubs land a serviceable bench player capable of playing behind the plate and first base. He should compete for a reserve role with Chicago during spring training.

What does it give the Los Angeles Angels
With newcomer Travis D'Arnaud on board, plus Logan O'Hoppe to add depth, the Angels designated Thaiss for assignment recently. So, getting some cash back for him makes sense.
