Chicago White Sox
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Thaiss served as the Angels' backup catcher in 2024, though with Logan O'Hoppe avoiding the IL, Thaiss played sparingly. The previous season Thaiss teased improvements, as be fanned less and hit the ball with more authority. He maintained his hard-hit rate but reverted to more strikeouts while generating more softly hit fly balls. The result was a steep dip in HR/FB, though Thaiss' career-high .306 BABIP helped keep the season from being a total disaster. The Angels dealt Thaiss to the Cubs who quickly sent him south a few blocks to the White Sox. Thaiss will be in the mix to be the reserve backstop, but the White Sox are grooming top prospects Edgar Quero and Kyle Teel to share the job. Thaiss is only in play for AL-only formats, and even then, there are likely better options. Read Past Outlooks
