Played good, smart ball, and stepped up even after a few weeks of benchriding. Insisted he was willing to sit if it helped the team, which was the sort of thing Crash Davis taught Nook Laloush to say whether it was true or not, but was particularly big after it became clear to anyone paying attention that his benching wasn't really helping the team at all. I'd give him a hug if I ever figure out which one is him and which one is Chris Bassitt.

One of those "good guys to have in the locker room". And it seemed like he deserved those comments. Later

Loved that he said his name was Portuguese and he wanted to be known by only his last name, Cañha, like a Brazilian footballer and his wife was all, "hell nah, bro."

I liked him in 2022. Outperformed himself and was a nice cog to have. A bit more of a dog in 2023 and I'm not too sad to see him go.

All the dumb clichés applied, completely unironically. A pro's pro. Got good at-bats. Could do it all. Really fit in New York. Great veteran presence. Go, Brewers, at least as far as beating out the rest of the NL Central.

Good guy, but ultimately disposable in the scheme of things. Enjoyed his food.

Most Met 19s are corner outfielders that are okay but not great. Church, Bruce, Corey Sullivan. Canha rose above them. Great fit in last year's productive lineup. Less so in a crappy one.

This kinda surprises me. I thought he'd be around longer

He got hit by a lot of pitches as a Met

Edgy MD Aug 01 2023 04:38 AM Re: Memories of Mark Canha

It was uncanny.

smg58 Aug 01 2023 06:11 AM Re: Memories of Mark Canha

He always came across as a likeable and classy guy, but he didn't hit particularly well for a starting corner outfielder. You could justify spending modestly on guys like Canha and Escobar if you were getting your money's worth from the big investments, but that's where the problem has been.

Of course I have a Canha song. One of my favorites to watch even if he just didn't have a great year this year. Class act. Wise men play Baseball games to win But he Canha help The Mets don't need him to Make him stay? What good would that do? Cause he Canha help The Mets don't need him to Like a river flows Surely to the sea Darling, so it goes Some things, you know, are meant to be Eat, Mark, eat There is new food to chew Cause you Canha help The Mets don't need you to Cause he Canha help The Mets don't need him to

Mark Canha traded to Detroit. I guess he can sample Detroit-style pizza. [TWEET]https://twitter.com/Brewers/status/1720852174811394418[/TWEET]

I always liked Canha. He seemed a decent guy who gave his all every game. I wish him all the best in Detroit.

For some reason I thought Cahna was a free agent at the end of the season. Why did we deal him if we still had a year? Detroit pizza is *OK.* We are all spoiled be New York pizza.

Edgy MD Nov 05 2023 03:43 PM Re: Memories of Mark Canha

They dealt his contract hoping for value in return, I suspect — including the added value of that second year or the added value of not being on the hook for that second year, depending on how one might look at it.
