Royals Acquire Mark Canha from Brewers

The Kansas City Royals have acquired veteran outfielder Mark Canha from the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations. Known for his strong on-base skills, Canha is expected to bolster the Royals' lineup against left-handed pitching. The 36-year-old, with a career on-base percentage of .349, has previously played for the Detroit Tigers and San Francisco Giants. The move follows Canha's minor league deal with the Brewers in February, with his struggle during spring training, batting just .087. His addition raises competition for bench spots among Royals players like Joey Weimer and Nick Loftin. Canha will need to be added to the Royals' 40-man roster to secure his place on the team.
