However, 19-year-old shortstop Konnor Griffin has signed a nine-year, $140 million contract, marking the largest in franchise history and signaling a potential turning point.

Pirates GM Ben Cherington praised Griffin for his dedication and team-first mentality as he embarks on his journey with the club.
