Report: Royals acquire OF/1B Mark Canha from Brewers

, Reuters - 11:42 AM ET 3/22/2025 default

The Kansas City Royals acquired outfielder/first baseman Mark Canha from the Milwaukee Brewers for a player to be named later or cash considerations, MLB.com reported.

Canha, 36, signed a minor league deal with the Brewers. He is just 2-for-23 with one homer, four strikeouts and four walks in Cactus League action.

Canha reportedly let the Brewers know he planned to exercise a clause in his contract that required the team to put him on the 40-man roster or allow him to become a free agent. As a result, the Brewers traded him to the Royals.

Per MLB.com, Canha could earn $1.4 million with performance bonuses in 2025 once he is elevated to the majors.

Canha batted .242 with seven homers and 42 RBIs in 125 games split between the Detroit Tigers and San Francisco Giants last season.

He is a .249 hitter with 120 homers, 459 RBIs and 514 runs in 1,049 career games for the Oakland A's (2015-21), New York Mets (2022-23), Brewers (2023), Tigers (2024) and Giants (2024).
