What exactly are the Padres doing this season? So far they haven’t made any major signings or trades, but that could all change very soon. ESPN’s Jeff Passan thinks that the organization could part ways with Jake Cronenworth as soon as this winter. Passan writes:
San Diego general manager A.J. Preller, always willing to consider creative deals, could move infielders Jake Cronenworth or Luis Arraez. With a paucity of on-the-dirt free agents, either would bring back a premium.
In 2023, Cronenworth signed a seven-year, $80 million contract with the Padres, but with the organization trying to cut payroll it’s likely that they’ll want to get rid of this pricey player.
