The Kansas City Royals made a late addition to their roster on Friday by acquiring veteran outfielder Mark Canha from the Milwaukee Brewers, a source confirmed to The Star. Canha, 36, signed a minor-league deal with the Brewers this offseason and has a career .349 on-base percentage over 10 MLB seasons.
In return, the Royals will send a player to be named later. MLB insider Mark Feinsand also noted that Canha had an opt-out clause in his minor-league contract with the Brewers.
This spring, Canha appeared in nine games with the Brewers, hitting one home run, recording two RBIs, and drawing four walks in 23 at-bats.
The Royals have been searching for a veteran bench bat, and Canha is expected to be on the active roster ahead of their opening day on March 27 against the Cleveland Guardians. Over his career, Canha has played for five teams. Last season, he hit .242 with seven home runs and 42 RBIs while playing for the Detroit Tigers and San Francisco Giants.
