DK's Daily Shot of Pirates: So Griffin's not signed?

The episode opens with a recap of the Pirates' recent win, highlighting strong performances from Connor Griffin and Ryan O'Hearn. The central focus shifts to the status of Griffin's long-term contract extension, which has been widely speculated about but not confirmed. Despite a viral tweet from Buster Olney claiming a nine-year, $140 million deal, no agreement has been reached, and no follow-up reports have emerged from other outlets—unusual for such a high-profile story. The host emphasizes that while both parties remain open to a deal, especially one that would secure Griffin’s free agency years, the silence from the team and agents suggests the process is stalled or still in early stages. The segment also dives into Paul Skeens' pitching performance, addressing concerns about his velocity drop, which the host downplays by highlighting Skeens' diverse pitch arsenal and deceptive release point, calling it 'unfair' to hitters. The episode closes with a reminder of the upcoming double-shot live stream and a call to subscribe.
