Show Notes

Matt Thaiss, a non-roster invitee, is making a strong push for the backup catcher spot behind Carlos Narvaez of the Boston Red Sox. With a solid .638 OPS last season and praise from manager Alex Cora, Thaiss is challenging Connor Wong, who had a rough 2025 season. However, an upward mobility clause in Thaisss contract could complicate the situation, potentially leading to both players being kept on the roster.
