Royals Acquire Veteran Mark Canha from Brewers in Trade

The Kansas City Royals have acquired veteran utility player Mark Canha from the Milwaukee Brewers in a trade that will send a player to be named later or cash to Milwaukee. Canha, who had a disappointing spring training with a .087 batting average, brings ten years of MLB experience and versatility to the Royals' roster, potentially serving as a right-handed bat off the bench. This move comes as Kansas City looks to bolster their lineup after an impressive 2024 season that saw them return to the playoffs. Meanwhile, the Brewers, who have made few significant offseason moves, will benefit from the trade by receiving compensation for Canha, who was unlikely to secure a spot on their major league roster. The addition of Canha is seen as a low-risk opportunity for Kansas City to enhance their competitiveness in the AL Central. As Opening Day approaches, both teams are making final adjustments to their rosters.
