The options on the infield market are dwindling, and if the Yankees want to improve their roster, they’ll need to strike while the iron’s hot. One of the names who I could see being moved is Jake Cronenworth, who is in the second year of an atrocious seven-year $80 million deal that keeps him on the Padres’ payroll until his age-36 season. It’s objectively a bad contract, as San Diego now owes him $11.4 million a year for the next seven seasons. While the Yankees could explore a different route for an infielder, Cronenworth’s deal could be cut down to be a more attractive contract for a contender.
