PORT ST. LUCIE — Mark Canha is still adjusting to all the attention he’s receiving this spring with the Mets. 

It’s not just the veteran outfielder getting the star treatment. With all the extra staff the team has added under Steve Cohen’s ownership, there is definitely a noticeable difference between playing for the Athletics — Canha’s former employer — and the Mets. 

“I feel like someone is always asking me if I need help,” Canha said Friday. “It’s just there are so many resources here, the staff has been incredible. I’m not used to this many people asking me if I need anything all the time.” 

Canha took the Mets’ two-year offer worth $26.5 million in November, with the perks of a major market in mind. After seven seasons in Oakland, he says he was ready for a larger stage. A self-described “food guy,” he’s anticipating a dive into the city’s restaurant scene. 

Any kind of cuisine works just fine for the 33-year-old Canha. 

“I like everything,” he said. 

Canha owned a .231/.358/.387 slash line with 17 homers and 61 RBIs in 161 games last season. His most positive attribute might be his plate discipline: Canha ranked in MLB’s 91st percentile in chase rate, according to baseball savant. Canha also walked 77 times last season and tied for the major league lead with 27 hit by pitches. 

“Not my best work,” Canha said of his stat line. “But I think I did what I do, and that’s get on base and put together good at-bats, and I think a lot of things I do at the plate don’t necessarily show up in the stat book, like work counts and make pitchers throw pitches. I think I have honed that part of the game, and if I just sharpen the other tools a little bit, I will be back where I want to be.” 

He will join Brandon Nimmo and Starling Marte in a revamped Mets outfield that doesn’t include Michael Conforto, who declined the team’s qualifying offer worth $18.4 million after the season and remains a free agent. 

Canha can play all three outfield positions and first base. Last year, he started 81 games in left field, 16 in center and 11 in right. He played left field in Friday’s intrasquad scrimmage at Clover Park. 

Team president Sandy Alderson and general manager Billy Eppler recruited Canha, visiting him at home in Arizona during the offseason. Alderson spent 2018-19 as a consultant with Oakland and got to know Canha, who attended Cal-Berkeley. 

And Canha has quickly emerged as a favorite of manager Buck Showalter. 

“He is a trustworthy guy,” Showalter said. “I told him yesterday, ‘I am so happy you are here.’ He’s a guy that is engaged. He doesn’t have a day [off] mentally or emotionally. He’s very disciplined and attuned with his body and the competition. He’s just a guy you know what you are going to get from every day as far as approach to games.” 

Canha was in the airport last weekend, on his way to spring training, when he received a call from Eppler, about to complete a deal with Oakland for pitcher Chris Bassitt. 

“It was a last-minute check [from Eppler], and I gave Chris a glowing review because he is the best,” Canha said. 

In Oakland, Canha played for a highly-regarded manager in Bob Melvin [who departed for the Padres after the season], and he now receives another in Showalter. 

“I respect the heck out of Buck, and I was really happy it was him when that decision process was done,” Canha said. “I was excited to play for a guy who has been around the game so long and has the reputation that he has. That is what you want when you have a team like this, so it has been awesome.”
