Detroit Tigers Acquire Outfielder Mark Canha from Milwaukee Brewers in Exchange for Minor-League Pitcher Blake Holub

Tigers likely to pick up Canha's $11.5 million option for 2024 season following his solid performance with Brewers, while Holub leaves Tigers not ranked among top 30 prospects.

Mark Canha brings a needed right-handed hitting outfielder and veteran presence to the Tigers, with notable power and on-base skills including a career 117 wRC+ and .349 on-base percentage.
Canha's versatility in the outfield and capability in various batting situations will provide the Tigers more options in their rotation, potentially easing their reliance on pinch-hitting.
The outfielder had a strong performance with the Brewers after being acquired from the Mets, hitting .287/.373/.427 in 50 games, and secured a crucial tiebreaking grand slam in their push for an NL Central title.
In exchange for Canha, the Tigers have given up minor-league pitcher Blake Holub who, despite not ranking among their top 30 prospects, showcased a promising performance last season with a 3.03 ERA and eight saves in 48 relief appearances.
The Brewers were facing a deadline to decide on Canha's $11.5 million team option for 2024 or pay a $2 million buyout; however, the Tigers are likely to pick up that option after his solid season with the Brewers.
