The San Francisco Giants acquired outfielder and first baseman Mark Canha from the Detroit Tigers in exchange for minor league right-handed pitcher Eric Silva on Tuesday.
Canha, 35, was in his first season with the Tigers and now heads to the Bay Area, where he spent the first seven years of his MLB career while with the Oakland Athletics.
Canha is batting .231 this season with seven home runs and 38 RBIs over 93 games. In 1,017 career games for the A's (2015-21), New York Mets (2022-23), Milwaukee Brewers (2023) and Tigers, he is a .248 hitter with 120 homers, 455 RBIs and 510 runs.
Silva, 21, was a fourth-round draft pick in 2021 and moved up to Double-A Richmond this season, where he has gone 4-2 with two saves and a 4.35 ERA in 28 relief appearances.
