How is his defense? Looks like he definitely knows how to draw walks.

Baseball Prospectus rated him as the 89th catcher last year in runs saved out of 100. Number 93 was Martin Maldonado. So, upgrade?

He looks about average on the throwing categories and blocking but was one of the worst framers in the game.

He’s got a 93 wRC+ against RHP the last three seasons, which is pretty good for a catcher making just above league minimum.  No idea how his defense is or if he’s good working with pitchers.  My guess is those traits must not be good based on his salary and this trade.

Both Thaiss and Robinson are older backup catchers.  Both traded for cash.  Like I said, these guys are a dime a dozen.
