Canha Exits Rangers Minor League Deal, Eyes New MLB Opportunity

Veteran Mark Canha has been granted his release from the Rangers’ minor league contract after requesting to pursue other big‑league opportunities; the Rangers kept him in extended spring training near Scottsdale but ultimately chose Andrew McCutchen for the final roster spot. Canha, 37, impressed in spring (.286/.318/.500) but hasn’t played official games recently, and his last season with the Royals yielded a .212/.272/.265 line (49 wRC+), suggesting that an immediate MLB opportunity may be unlikely though minor league offers could be available.

Canha's overall numbers remain below his career norms, but he's been significantly better over the past three weeks, with a reduced strikeout rate and an OPS that's creeping toward .900.

Mets face challenge without injured home run leader Pete Alonso.

The New York Mets will have to find a way to replace the production of their most productive hitter, Pete Alonso, who is likely to land on the injured list for a significant chunk of June. Mark Vientos and Mark Canha are the two players likely to receive the bulk of first-base reps in Alonso’s absence. Vientos, who started at third base on Thursday, has an opportunity to prove he belongs in the Majors long-term. The Mets need offensive pop, and Vientos needs to seize the opportunity to carve a role in the Mets’ lineup.
