The Pirates made a very bold very wise move last week when they signed young (19-year-old) superstar Konnor Griffin to a 9 year 140-million-dollar contract including a 12 million dollar signing bonus (15.5 million annually via contract) The Pirates have now locked down Konnor Griffin through his prime healthy young years for an absolute steal of a price. The reason this move is so awesome is the risk for the Pirates is very low and Konnor Griffin could still sign a supermax after this contract is concluded and make his career riches. Pirates made a great low risk move here that RosterRisk believes will age well.
