Brewers Acquire Right-Handed Pitcher Blake Holub from Detroit
Send Outfielder/First Baseman Mark Canha to the Tigers
MILWAUKEE – The Milwaukee Brewers have acquired right-handed pitcher Blake Holub (HA-lub) from the Detroit Tigers in exchange for outfielder/first baseman Mark Canha. The announcement was made by Senior Vice President and General Manager Matt Arnold.
Holub, who turned 25 on Oct. 23, was selected by Detroit in the 15th round of the 2021 First-Year Player Draft out of St. Edward’s University in Austin, TX. Last season, his second in professional baseball, he went 6-4 with a 3.03 ERA and 8 saves in 48 relief appearances between Class-A West Michigan (18g) and Double-A Erie (30g), holding opponents to a .226 batting average with 76 strikeouts in 65.1 innings pitched while posting a 1.07 WHIP.
Canha, who turns 35 on Feb. 15, had a club option for 2024. He appeared in 50 games with Milwaukee in 2023 after being acquired with cash from the New York Mets on July 31 in exchange for right-handed pitcher Justin Jarvis. Canha batted .287 (51-for-178) with 5 HR and 33 RBI as a Brewer and made 47 starts with the team (17g at DH, 14g in LF, 12g in RF and 4g at 1B). He is a career .250 hitter with 113 HR and 417 RBI in 924 games in the Major Leagues with Oakland (2015-21), New York-NL (2022-23) and Milwaukee (2023).
