Jake Cronenworth Contract: Padres Agree to 7 Year Extension
STOP ALL THE PRESSES SAN DIEGO! There are new details coming down the pipeline concerning the clubhouse and the Jake Cronenworth contract. Writer and Journalist, Dennis Lin, is reporting that the Padres are in agreement with the two time All Star for a 7 year extension.
This means Jake will rake for the Pads all the way till he turns 36. So this is some nice longevity and security for the big man who is responsible for that epic play against the Dodgers during the 2022 postseason NLDS series. Nevertheless, where does this now leave things for the Padres organization?
There is much speculation about San Diego being all in on Shohei Ohtani (of course, who isn’t); when he hits free agency; and that is why there is no sign of a contract for generational superstar; Juan Soto just yet. However, with this extension for Jake Cronenworth coming literally out of the blue; it shows that Peter Seidler is not putting the checkbook away just yet. The pen is ready to go in order for him to ink deals and assemble the dream team that will ultimately bring a baseball title to America’s Finest City.
Nevertheless, although this move seems rather surprising; it still helps to put a lot of “talk” to rest. In various press interviews Seidler is being drilled on whether all of this player money spending is sustainable. Well, folks the man is still out here working and showing his guys the money, so now you have your definitive answer. You can put that question out to pasture.

Furthermore, this is a new culture developing. These epic and constant moves demonstrate San Diego’s intense desire to win at any cost. Gone are the days of losing talented players due to not shelling out the big bucks. The Padres are cementing the guys they want in order to construct the legacy and outcome that they want.
The next guy in line? Who knows. However, right now Jake is up. Jake Cronenworth is a Padre with nice productivity since his debut in majors. Since 2020, in 365 games Cronenworth has gone yard blasting 42 home runs, getting 10 steals; while hitting .256/.338/.430.
While things are pretty quiet on the home front in terms of numbers. There are still other details and developments about the extension that have come to light. For instance, the deal is set to begin in 2024 and will be announced Saturday.
Saturday is already a big day for San Diego sports lovers as the Aztecs make history playing in the final four for the first time. So why not more great news for the day? This is beyond perfect timing.
Moreover, Cronenworth is already set to make over $4 million this season. And he will play out his one-year, $4.225-million deal that was fleshed out during his first year of arbitration eligibility.
We are sure there will be more information about all of this coming soon. Therefore, check back because we will keep you posted. Congratulations Jake.
