The San Diego Padres locked up one of their biggest organizational wins of the last half decade. Utility man Jake Cronenworth reportedly signed a seven-year, $80 million extension to remain with the team, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.
PEORIA, ARIZONA - MARCH 11: Jake Cronenworth #9 of the San Diego Padres hits the ball during the Spring Training Game against the Chicago White Sox at Peoria Stadium on March 11, 2023 in Peoria, Arizona. The San Diego Padres locked up one of their biggest organizational wins of the last half decade. Utility man Jake Cronenworth reportedly signed a seven-year,The extension won't kick in until next season, and buys out five free-agent years.
Because of his age, however, Cronenworth would not have hit the free-agent market until he was 32 years old. Even if he performed well, his age might have prevented him from receiving a massive contract on the market. Cronenworth decided he didn't want to play that game, and instead committed to sticking with the Padres.
His minor-league numbers weren't that impressive during his first couple seasons. Cronenworth was capable of hitting for a decent average and showed pretty good plate discipline, but lacked power. During his first four seasons in the minors, Cronenworth failed to post a slugging percentage above .400. That lack of pop may have led to the Rays utilizing Cronenworth as a two-way player in 2019. In addition to hitting, he also saw some time on the mound that season.
