Konnor Griffin Secures $140M Deal; Pittsburgh Building Around Young Star
Pittsburgh Pirates top prospect Konnor Griffin has agreed to a nine-year, $140 million contract, setting a new benchmark for a player who has yet to make his Major League debut. Konnor Griffin, the No. 9 overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft and the No. 1 ranked prospect in baseball, is on the verge of reaching the majors after being called up by the Pirates on Thursday. He has appeared in five games with Triple-A Indianapolis, recording seven hits in 16 at-bats with a .438 AVG, .571 OBP, and 1.196 OPS. The Pirates are making a clear long-term investment in their young star, who could emerge as a key piece in their push for contention in the National League.
