It’s the biggest deal ever for a player his age with <a href="https://twitter.com/JeffPassan/status/1642165246453317632" rel="noopener">less than four years of service</a>, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan.</p><p>It’s Cronenworth’s fourth season with the Padres, and it looks like he will remain in California for over the first decade of his career. The 29-year-old slashed .239/.332/.390 with 17 long balls and 88 RBIs last season, being named to his second consecutive National League All-Star Game.</p><p>The Michigan native was newly eligible for arbitration in the offseason, and avoided a hearing by agreeing to a one-year, $4.225 million contract in January. Now he’ll be getting paid much more than that to remain with one of the baseball’s best teams.</p><p>“The Padres are getting some cost certainty as they consider how to balance a slew of financial commitments. In Cronenworth, they’re adding another infielder to their list of long-term fixtures,” wrote Lin on Saturday. “Third baseman Manny Machado and shortstop Xander Bogaerts had already signed deals that will take them past their 40th birthdays.”</p><p>Jake Cronenworth gives the Padres a solid bat and infield flexibility; he can play second base, first base and shortstop, and the organization places additional value on his work ethic, baseball IQ and ability to lead by example, per Lin.</p><p>The team has already extended Joe Musgrove, Yu Darvish, Machado, Robert Suarez and Nick Martinez to extensions since last summer.  The contracts keep rolling in San Diego, and Cronenworth is the latest to cash in.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Tatis scandal rocked the team and made it seem like this would be just another wasted year. Thankfully for San Diego fans, the team rallied and continued winning.</p><p>The Padres could be a solid threat in the postseason. Machado, Soto and Cronenworth headline a strong lineup while Joe Musgrove and Yu Darvish make for a strong one-two punch on the mound.</p><p>The Padres <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/padres-news-sd-owner-drops-truth-bomb-on-fernando-tatis-jr-contract-extension-after-ped-incident/">still believe in Tatis</a> and will look to use the opportunity they have this postseason to establish a winning foundation. San Diego will be one of three Wild Card teams in the National League. The other two spots have yet to be decided as the Atlanta Braves and New York Mets fight for the NL East while the Brewers and Philadelphia Phillies fight for the final Wild Card spot.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He broke out last season for San Diego when he hit .266 with 21 home runs and 71 RBIs, and became a quick fan favorite with his catchy nickname of ‘Crone Zone’.</p><p>Things haven’t gone as smoothly for Cronenworth this season, as he’s hitting .241 with nine homers and 49 RBIs. Despite that, he’s remained a crucial part of San Diego’s lineup, and has made the second base position his own after having to play all over the infield to start his career. As a result of his continued solid play, Cronenworth earned his second straight All-Star selection as a replacement for Miami Marlins second baseman Jazz Chisholm.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">2B Jake Cronenworth of the <a href="https://twitter.com/Padres?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Padres</a> has been added to the 2022 NL All-Star roster in place of Jazz Chisholm Jr. of the <a href="https://twitter.com/Marlins?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Marlins</a>.

This is another big accomplishment for Cronenworth, as he continues to establish himself as one of the top second basemen in the MLB today.</p><p>Cronenworth and the Padres have done a good job piecing things together this season, and they should continue to make a playoff push during the second half of the season. Everyone may be paying attention to the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/padres-news-fernando-tatis-jr-takes-huge-step-toward-return-as-all-star-game-approaches/">potential return of Tatis</a> later on this season, but without Cronenworth, there’s a chance Tatis’ return this season wouldn’t even matter, highlighting the Crone Zone’s importance to San Diego as the season moves forward.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
