Griffin's Record-Breaking Deal, Pirates' Playoff Push
Description
Nineteen-year-old shortstop Konnor Griffin, drafted ninth overall in 2024, is set to make his MLB debut with the Pittsburgh Pirates against the Orioles on Friday. Griffin, who hit .333 with a .415 on-base and slugged .527 with 21 homers and 94 RBIs in 122 games last year, has been pushing for a record-breaking contract. Hes close to signing a nine-year deal worth $140 million, which would surpass the previous record for the biggest payout guaranteed before a players big league debut. Griffins impressive performance in spring training and Triple-A has earned him a call-up, and hes expected to bring energy and maturity to the team, helping them chase playoffs for the first time since 2015.
