White Sox acquire C Matt Thaiss from crosstown Cubs

Matt Thaiss is on the move to the other side of Chicago.

The White Sox purchased the contract of the 29-year-old catcher on Tuesday, a month after the Cubs acquired him from the Los Angeles Angels in a cash deal.

Thaiss spent parts of the past six seasons with the Angels, compiling a .208 batting average, a .313 on-base percentage, a .342 slugging percentage, 22 homers and 79 RBIs in 245 games.

This year, he hit .204/.323/.299 with two home runs and 16 RBIs in 57 games.

Thaiss joins the White Sox days after they acquired top catching prospect Kyle Teel as part of the deal that sent left-hander Garrett Crochet to the Boston Red Sox.

Korey Lee was the White Sox’s primary catcher this year, and he batted .210/.244/.347 with 12 homers and 37 RBIs in 125 games.
