Pittsburgh Pirates Assign Konnor Griffin to Minor Leagues

Despite high expectations, Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Konnor Griffin has been reassigned to the minor leagues as the team trims its roster for the upcoming season. His spring training was inconsistent, with only seven hits in 43 plate appearances, though he showcased power with four home runs. While Griffin has limited experience above A-ball, there is mutual interest in a long-term extension that could expedite his return to the majors. A strong performance in the minors could lead to his call-up, especially if current infielders struggle.
