Pirates Sign Griffin to Record-Breaking Deal

0:00It's April 7th. This is MLB News today, powered by AI tracking teams, players, and standings. Pittsburgh Pirates just called up Connor Griffin, the top prospect in all of baseball, and he's already locking down shortstop. Reports say they've agreed to a 9-year, $140 million extension dropped right on his call of day, April 2nd. Talks heated up fast, but nothing's official yet as he makes his 5th start there, including his debut against Baltimore in the home opener on April 3rd at PNC Park. Fans and front offices buzzing because this would smash the team's record deal, topping Brian Reynolds' 8-year 106 million 7, $150,000 packed from April 25th, 2023. Both sides win big, Pirates snag a 19-year-old star-hitter, defender, and base-stealer through the 2034 season at 15 point. 5 million average annual value, cheaper than arbitration battles. Griffin cashes in early with a fat lump sum, still young enough for another monster contract
