Giants Trade for Veteran Outfielder Mark Canha

San Francisco acquires Canha from Detroit Tigers in exchange for pitching prospect Eric Silva.

Canha, a San Jose native, returns to the Area after stints with multiple MLB teams.
The 35-year-old outfielder has struggled this season, batting .231 with seven home runs.
Canha offers positional flexibility, having played both outfield corners and first base.
Eric Silva, the prospect sent to Detroit, has a 4.35 ERA in Double-A this year.
Canha reunites with former A's manager Bob Melvin and teammate Matt Chapman.
