Buster Olney shed some light on the latest in the contract negotiations going on with Konnor Griffin. The figure, according to Olney, looks like it could be close to the Corbin Carroll territory of 8 years for roughly $111M. Is it smart for Griffin to take that deal as a safety net that also allows him to hit free agency while he is still in his prime? We have seen plenty of players sign deals like this before they ever make their MLB debut.
