Griffin Returns as Pirates Look Ahead | Pittsburgh Pirates News

The Pittsburgh Pirates are banking on rising star Konnor Griffin to turn things around, as the 20-year-old phenom prepares to return from injury this Sunday—potentially rejoining the team as early as next Friday. Signed to a jaw-dropping $140 million extension, Griffin is the franchise’s brightest long-term hope and the centerpiece of a new, aggressive ownership strategy. Despite a disappointing season that hasn’t ended their decade-long playoff drought, fans are buzzing for Griffin’s return—he’s already slashed .276 with 5 homers, 25 RBIs, and 20 steals in limited action. His comeback could be the spark this team desperately needs to ignite the future. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
