Tigers fans seem to really like this move; Mark Canha is the first name brand hitter brought in during the Scott Harris era.
Personally, I'm not too excited about the trade. Canha is a solid player, but he'll be 35 on Opening Day and I strongly suspect this will be Detroit's only offensive splash of the winter. I base that prediction off of how Harris has operated in the past (both Giants and Tigers), along with comments he made at the end of the season hinting at a conservative approach.
If my pessimism is correct, it's going to be another non-playoff year for Detroit in 2024. The Tigers offense was bad last year, and this nickel and diming (Ibanez, McKinstry, Vierling, etc.) isn't cutting it.
