The Pittsburgh Pirates view Konnor Griffin, the consensus top prospect and ninth overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft, as a potential franchise cornerstone. Despite not yet playing in the majors, the team has reportedly discussed a record-breaking nine-year, $100 million contract extension with Griffin to secure him before he becomes a free agent. While risky, this strategy aims to avoid higher future costs and retain a key player for the organization. Although Griffin won’t be on the Opening Day roster, he is expected to debut in the 2026 season.
