Mark Canha should be a difficult decision for the Oakland A’s this offseason. As an impending free agent, he is eligible to receive the Qualifying Offer, which is likely to be close to $19 million for the 2022 campaign.
For almost any other team, Canha receiving that offer would seem to be a given. He has posted a 122 OPS+ with 12 homers and 19 doubles in his 457 plate appearances.
