San Diego Padres infielder Jake Cronenworth in February paid $3.292 million for a three-bedroom, 3,395-square-foot condominium in a newly built West Loop building.
A Michigan native, Cronenworth, 30, debuted in 2020. The two-time All-Star signed a seven-year, $80 million contract extension with San Diego early in 2023.
In the West Loop, Cronenworth’s new place is a corner unit with 3-1/2 bathrooms, herringbone entry foyers, arched doorways, an Atelier Jouvence fireplace in the living room and a kitchen with Miele, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances.
The condo was first listed for $3.149 million in 2021, while the building was still under construction.
Timothy Sheahan of Compass, who represented Cronenworth, told Elite Street that his client had a connection with the West Loop building’s developer. However, Sheahan said he did not know why a ballplayer from Michigan who currently plays for a Southern California team chose to buy a place in Chicago.
