MILWAUKEE — Veteran outfielder Mark Canha is on the transfer once more, with the Milwaukee Brewers buying and selling him to the Detroit Tigers on Saturday slightly than selecting up his possibility for the 2024 season.
The Brewers acquired minor league pitcher Blake Holub within the deal.
Milwaukee was going through a Monday deadline on whether or not to select up Canha’s $11.5 million staff possibility for 2024 or pay a $2 million buyout. The Brewers as a substitute dealt Canha to the Tigers, the second time he is been traded this 12 months.
Canha, who turns 35 on Feb. 15, helped the Brewers of their push for an NL Central title this 12 months after they acquired him from the Mets on the commerce deadline. The Mets acquired minor league pitcher Justin Jarvis in that deal and agreed to pay $3.26 million of Canha’s $3.5 million remaining wage for the 12 months.
In 50 video games with the Brewers, Canha batted .287 with a .373 on-base share, 5 homers and 33 RBIs. He produced one of the memorable moments of the Brewers’ season by hitting a tiebreaking grand slam with two outs within the eighth inning of a 9-5 victory over the Washington Nationals on Sept. 16.
Canha had hit .245 with a .343 on-base share, six homers and 29 RBIs in 89 video games for the Mets earlier than the commerce.
He has a profession batting common of .250 with a .349 on-base share, 113 homers and 417 RBIs. Canha has performed for the Oakland Athletics (2015-21), Mets (2022-23) and Brewers (2023).
Houb, a 25-year-old right-hander, went 6-4 with a 3.03 ERA and eight saves in 48 mixed aid appearances with Single-A West Michigan and Double-A Erie this season.
