7yr/$80m extension for former Wolverine Cronenworth
Very impressive early MLB career for our former infielder and closer. 2nd in the RoY voting, 2 All Star appearances, and now a long term contract with the Padres.
Interesting tidbit: this is the richest contract ever given to a player of his age and service time.
As a Padres fan, this news makes me very happy. Good for Jake to secure the bag. Now sign Kim long-term, and the entire infield will be set for awhile.
Thought you were a Mets fan? Or do you just like to invade different places and see how it turns out?
With that contract he can almost buy a home in San Diego.
Did Padres get new ownership? They are handing out money like candy after being among the most tight fisted for decades.
Peter Seidler, his family owned the Dodgers, acquired the Padres in 2016 maybe 2017.
has ownership experiencing, committed to producing a winner and wants to bring a championship to Americas Finest City !
our window is now, hope it works !
Never knew you were a padres fan…this is going to be a great season
Really cool. Go Blue!
Thanks for posting.
He's going to have to change his name to Cronenworthalot.
The CroneZone stays in San Diego
Boy the Padres are committing themselves to a LOT of money. Someday that bird is going to come home to roost.
That is a great contract for a 29 year old.
happy for him. surprised he got that, as the "middle class" of baseball salaries is gradually disappearing.
I saw that on the MLB Tonight ticker last night - good for him! Hope he can help the Padres make some noise in the NL West.
And Michigan is now 5-0 in Big Ten play!
