Padres owner Peter Seidler is channeling his inner Oprah: “You get an extension! Yu gets an extension! EVERYBODY GETS AN EXTENSION!” The Padres now have a large chunk of their nucleus under contract for the foreseeable future.
The Friars' latest long-term deal goes to 2-time All-Star infielder Jake Cronenworth, who signed a 7-year contract worth a reported $80 million, which at a little more than $14 per season is considered a team-friendly deal in today’s baseball economics. It starts in 2024 and will run through the 2030 season, buying out his last two seasons of arbitration and five free-agent years.
Cronenworth was considered the “extra” guy in a trade that brought Tommy Pham to San Diego before the 2020 season. Jake quickly changed that perception, finishing second on the NL Rookie of the Year balloting and then going to two straight midsummer classics. He is one of the most valuable and versatile pieces in the Padres lineup, able to hit in any spot from 1-through-9 and playing quality defense all around the infield.
