Brewers acquire outfielder Mark Canha as Mets continue to deal veterans before trade deadline

The Milwaukee Brewers continued attempting to upgrade their lineup for their NL Central title quest on Monday as they acquired outfielder Mark Canha, the latest veteran to get dealt by the disappointing New York Mets.

Milwaukee sent minor league pitcher Justin Jarvis to the Mets.

This move comes four days after Milwaukee added former Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Carlos Santana, who hit his first homer as a Brewer in a Sunday afternoon 8-6 loss to the Atlanta Braves.

“Mark brings a productive veteran bat and versatility to the roster as he can play all three outfield spots and first base,” Brewers president of baseball operations Matt Arnold said in a statement.
