Rest-of-Season Projections
Back in affiliated ball with Oakland
Cron signed a minor-league contract with the Athletics on Nov. 8.
ANALYSIS
Cron, the younger brother of the Rockies' C.J. Cron, spent the past two seasons in Asia. After playing in 2021 with the Hiroshima Carp of Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball, Cron moved over to Korea in 2022, joining the SSG Landers. Over 67 games with the Landers before being released in July, Cron slashed .222/.255/.420 with 11 home runs in 259 plate appearances. The 29-year-old will likely begin the 2023 campaign with Triple-A Las Vegas.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
2020
2019
Cron has played the past two seasons in Asia. In 2021, he played for Hiroshima, slashing a combined .239/.296/.433 split between the Japan Western League (a minor league operated by Nippon Professional Baseball) and Japan Central League. He spent last season in the Korean Baseball organization, posting a .222/.255/.420 line for the SSG Landers. After signing a minor-league contract, Cron will attempt to rejuvenate his MLB career with the Athletics. He'll likely get a non-roster invite to spring training but is a longshot to break camp with the big club. At best, Cron is an option late in a draft and hold.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could return to club in September
Cron, who leads the Pacific Coast League with 36 home runs in just 252 at-bats for Triple-A Reno, is a candidate for a September callup.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old hit 22 homers at Triple-A in 2018 and has quickly surpassed those in his second go-round. Though Cron launched five homers in just 58 at-bats in his first major-league trip this year, he also struck out 26 times. Despite his improvement in the whiffs category (19.9 percent at Reno), he was slow to catch on in the majors. Still, deep-league fantasy players who need a power surge could take the chance that he's called up and an avenue for playing time opens up, but Arizona remains backlogged at the corner spots and unfortunately doesn't play in the league with a designated hitter.
