The Detroit Tigers acquired outfielder Mark Canha, a nine-year MLB veteran, in a trade with the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for minor-league reliever Blake Holub.

The Tigers and Brewers completed the trade Saturday, just three days after the trade market opened following the World Series. Canha has an $11.5 million team option for the 2024 season — the final year of his contract — that the Tigers will pick up.

Canha, who turns 35 in mid-February, represents the Tigers' first notable move in the second offseason under president of baseball operations Scott Harris.

In 2023, Canha hit .262 with 11 home runs, 49 walks (9.7% walk rate) and 79 strikeouts (15.6% strikeout rate) over 139 games with the New York Mets (89 games) and Brewers (50 games).

The Mets traded Canha to the Brewers on July 31 in exchange for right-handed pitching prospect Justin Jarvis. Canha has played 14 games in the postseason throughout his career, including two games with the Brewers in 2023.

Canha, a right-handed hitter, has experience on defense in left field, right field, center field, first base and third base. He primarily played left field, right field and first base with the Brewers.
