The Konnor Griffin Era begins for the Pirates today, and it’s set to last a long time.
Pittsburgh called Griffin up on Thursday, adding the consensus top prospect in baseball to their roster. As if that wasn’t enough, a few hours later, news broke that the two sides are finalizing a nine-year, $140 million contract extension. The deal is the largest ever given to a player with no MLB service time. ESPN’s Buster Olney was first with the news.
