The baseball world is abuzz about Konnor Griffin, the top prospect nearing his 20th birthday, who may break camp with the Pirates. Griffin, a rare five-tool shortstop, had an impressive 2025 season with 21 home runs and 65 stolen bases across three levels. Both he and the Pirates are open to a long-term extension, potentially leading to a nine-figure deal, reflecting his high prospect status. His success could significantly bolster the Pirates’ offense alongside their notable pitching staff.
