Rookie shortstop Konnor Griffin and the Pittsburgh Pirates are in agreement on a nine-year extension, the team announced, locking up the top prospect in baseball less than a week after his major league debut.
The deal is worth $140 million, sources told @JeffPassan and @Buster_ESPN, the largest guarantee in Pirates history as well as for a player in his rookie season.
Tonight was a REALLY encouraging night from Konnor Griffin -
- Three hard hit balls: (113.2mph, 106mph, 97.7mph)
- Two hits
- Two RBIs
- Run Scored
Griffin puts together professional ABs every time
And the hits are going to keep coming. What a guy 🏴☠️
