Pirates Eyeing Cronenworth Trade, Harrington on Table

The Pittsburgh Pirates are exploring a trade for Jake Cronenworth, a left-handed hitting second baseman from the San Diego Padres. Cronenworth, who has seen a decline in his defensive performance, could provide a balance to the Pirates right-handed heavy lineup. The Padres are eager to trade Cronenworth due to his recent performance dip and are looking to shed his remaining contract, which totals over sixty-one million dollars across five years. The Pirates could acquire Cronenworth by sending a prospect like Thomas Harrington to San Diego, potentially bolstering their team.
