Matt Thaiss in Contention for Red Sox Roster Spot

Matt Thaiss is currently competing for a backup catcher role with the Red Sox. Reports indicate Thaiss holds an upward mobility clause in his contract that triggers before Opening Day, meaning the Red Sox must either place him on the MLB roster or risk losing him to another team. He is currently battling Connor Wong for the spot, with the team's final decision expected to impact the overall composition of the pitching staff.
