Oakland Athletics: Breaking down an extension for Mark Canha

At this point, Major League Baseball has frozen rosters and banned any extension discussions. However, that does not mean that speculation about potential extensions has come to an end. For the Oakland Athletics, there are several intriguing players that could be worth such discussions.

One player that has been mentioned as a possible extension candidate is utility man Mark Canha. He has served a valuable role over the past two years, seeing extensive action as the A’s fourth outfielder and backup option at first base. In those two seasons, he has played in a combined 248 games despite his nominal status as a bench option.
