Getting to know Mets outfielder Mark Canha

The Mets had a very busy Black Friday. They did their shopping later in the day, and got some good deals on free agents. One of the players they signed was former outfielder for the Oakland Athletics, Mark Canha. Canha signed a two year, $26.5 million contract with an option for a third year.

Mets fans would be forgiven if they didn’t know much about Mark Canha. Canha spent the last six years in Oakland, and the only time the Mets played Oakland during that time frame was 2017, a season during which Canha was largely playing on Oakland’s Triple-A team.
