Mark Canha Moving From Mets To The Brewers
1 year agoThe New York Mets have traded outfielder Mark Canha to the Milwaukee Brewers ahead of the Aug. 1 MLB trade deadline. The Mets will receive 23-year-old pitching prospect Justin Jarvis in return. The 33-year-old has a club option for the 2024 season attached to him as part of the two-year, $26.5 million deal he signed with the Mets prior to the 2022 season. It's been a solid season at the plate for the veteran as Canha is hitting .245 with six homers, seven stolen bases, and a .724 OPS across 89 appearances on the campaign. The Brewers have been forced to go with a youthful outfield of late with Joey Wiemer and Sal Frelick joining Christian Yelich on the outfield grass while part-time outfielder Brian Anderson is on the injured list and Tyrone Taylor has struggled mightily since returning from a lengthy IL stint of his own. Canha should be able to provide a stabilizing veteran presence while likely starting against left-handed pitching.
