- On Tuesday, the Chicago White Sox sent Matt Thaiss to the Tampa Bay Rays and brought Korey Lee back onto the active roster after his stint on the 10-day injured list, filling the spot opened by the trade.
- The trade responded to the White Sox's deep catching pipeline, which includes Edgar Quero and Korey Lee, leaving no clear roster spot for Thaiss despite his recent acquisition.
- Matt Thaiss played in 35 games for the White Sox this season, posting a.212 batting average with one home run, four doubles, and eight RBIs across 110 plate appearances, while the Rays placed outfielder Jonny DeLuca on the 60-day injured list to open a roster spot for him.
- The White Sox received 25-year-old outfield prospect Dru Baker, who batted.245 with one homer and three RBIs over 17 Triple-A Durham games in 2025 and has a.219/.351/.266 slash line across 22 total games between Rookie League and Triple-A.
- Chicago general manager Chris Getz noted that the trade allows the team to focus more on developing their catching prospects while also adding depth to the outfield, aligning with the White Sox’s ongoing rebuilding efforts.
