The Pirates have called up Konnor Griffin in what will likely be a significant moment in franchise history.
Griffin ranked No. 1 on our list of the top 50 MLB prospects for 2026 and there was. a decent gap to Tigers infielder Kevin McGonigle at No. 2. The 19-year-old shortstop is a star in the making, and the Pirates have to be excited for what’s next. In fact, they’re so confident in Griffin that they handed him a nine-year, $140 million contract extension before he even debuted in the big leagues.
