The Pirates give Konnor Griffin a $140 million 9 year extension...... that's a lot of pirate plunder for an elff'in rookie!!

Seems like a bargain if this kid is who they say he is.

Should have tried it with Skenes. A few other clubs are doing the same to try to combat the fact that they won't be able to keep any good players they have.

As a Pirate fan I have to say it's at least trying something.

so instead of going like 1x1x1x1 or whatever then get hit with 25-30-30-30 or whatever they smoothed it out to 15 per yr. if he plays well thats bargain pricing the backend for sure.

Braves and Mariners have done this type of thing for years.

What if he blows up big time? Will he be forcing the Pirates to renegotiate or forcing a trade somewhere down the line?

He's hitting .167 this season. BUST!!!!
