The Kansas City Royals have decided to add experienced outfielder and first baseman Mark Canha from the Milwaukee Brewers to their roster in anticipation of the 2025 Major League Baseball season.

The Royals will give the Brewers financial considerations or a player to be selected later as part of the deal, which was completed on March 21, 2025.

Details of the Trade

With an opt-out clause that required the Brewers to either add him to their 40-man roster or give him free agency, the team decided to trade Mark Canha, 36, to the Royals after he signed a minor league contract with them during the offseason and struggled offensively throughout the Cactus League, recording just two hits in 23 at-bats, including one home run.

Canha’s Career Overview

Canha has received recognition for his defensive flexibility and on-base abilities over his ten-year MLB career. The Oakland Athletics, New York Mets, Detroit Tigers, and San Francisco Giants are among the clubs he has played for.

Throughout 1,049 games, he has amassed 459 RBIs, 120 home runs, and a.249 batting average.

Impact on the Royals

Canha gives the Royals an experienced player who can contribute on both the offensive and defensive ends.

His versatility in the lineup allows for more lineup options, which might help younger players by serving as a mentor. Canha’s expertise may be crucial to the Royals’ efforts to improve on their performance from the previous season.
