Outfielder and first baseman Mark Kaha According to a report by Jon Heyman of the New York Post, a minor league deal has been signed with the winemaker. The deal includes an invitation to participate in the Major League spring training.
Canha celebrated his 36th birthday last week, and he is fighting for a major league job if he earns his 11th Major League Baseball season this year. The veteran has been the Marlins’ seventh-round draft pick in 2010, but didn’t make his major league debut as a track and field member until 2015. Kanha spent seven seasons in Oakland, breaking out with one of the most important players from 2018 to 2021 after struggling early in his career. The four-year extension allowed Canha to cut a solid .249/.366/.441 (126 (126) WRC+) to allocate time between all three outfield points.
During this period, Canha walked with an excellent 12.1% clip, only 21.2% of the time. That kind of solid board discipline compensates for Canha’s relatively low power production. The veteran beat only 20 home runs in a season when he smashed 26 bombs in a 2019 campaign, a surge in momentum. Canha’s solid work with A was enough to get him a healthy two-year guarantee of 26.5mm and was given free agent guarantee at the free agent company before the 2022 season. His work in Mets uniforms is mostly solid, and in 2021 his 126 WRC+ is enough to make him a key gear in the 101-win team roster. Brandon Nemo and Starling Marte.
However, he took a step back in his 35-year-old season last year, hitting .245/.343/.381 in 89 games for the Mets in the first half of the season with Pedestrian 104 WRC+ in 89 games. Kanha wasn’t alone in struggling with that Metropolitan club, and the underperforming team was actively selling that summer before the trade deadline. Canha, who is part of the player’s move, found himself traded to Milwaukee on the deadline. Veterans allocated winemakers between outfield, first base and DH and enjoyed a revival on the plate, hitting the .287/.373/.427 club title in his last 50 games with 120 WRC+ .
The winemaker enjoys the 11.5mm club option on Canha service for the 2024 season, but is not interested in regaining interest with this price tag. That doesn’t mean Canha is back in free agency, and Milwaukee trades him to Detroit to avoid paying a 2mm buyout and buying minor league reliefists Blake Holub. Tiger then exercised his choice, seemingly ready to make him an important part of the outfield mix early this year. Performance like a player Wenceel Perez and Parker Meadow However, throughout the first half of the season, he divided the time between the outfield, first base and DH until he was traded to the Giants before the summer trade deadline, so he was on the outfield, first base and DH Time split between them.
Canha returned to free agents after a decent sport, slashing .242/.344/.346 (102 WRC+). The 36-year-old has little power at this point in his career, hitting only seven home runs in 2024, but his plate discipline and foundational abilities remain above average. Canha believes that if he gets injured throughout the spring, it can provide a solid deep choice for the brewer, but it is difficult to see him fit into the club as he is currently built. Rhys Hoskins With his salary of 18mm, he remains firm after first base even after a drop in 2024 Jackson Chourio,,,,, Garrett Mitchell,,,,, Christian Yelichand Sal Frelick It seems to cover the outfield. If Canha manages to force himself into the roster, maybe he can be a right-handed complement to a completely left-handed winemaker outfield Blake Perkins List of injuries caused by tibial fractures, while occasionally spelling Hoskins on first base.
