FUTURE UNLEASHED: Pirates Invite Konnor Griffin, Termarr Johnson, Duce Gourson—Prospects SHINE

Pittsburgh Pirates inject star power into spring with top prospect Konnor Griffin headlining a non-roster invite list packed with elite young talent. Could Griffin seize the Opening Day shortstop job and anchor the infield, or will Oneil Cruz’s revamped mindset make him the breakout star in the Steel City?

Gary Morgan spotlights rising prospects Termarr Johnson, Duce Gourson, and Omar Alfonzo, alongside veteran arms like Justin Lawrence, breaking down their potential impact on the MLB roster. Key storylines include Griffin’s rapid rise through the minors, Cruz’s offseason transformation, and Pittsburgh’s strategic bullpen rebuild. With Pirates fans eager for a competitive edge, this episode previews the youth movement shaking up Bradenton and examines whether a new core is set to reshape the NL Central race.

  5. Great show, Gary – I appreciate how you bring to life some of the players down on the farm. Case in point: Duce from my alma mater, UCLA. This dude looks promising and I'm looking forward to seeing him in action in Bradenton.

  9. Griffen and johnson will end up starting the season in triple A which I think is a good idea the worst thing they can do is rush them we have a bright future if these guys pan out

  11. Not sure if you agree but I think the Pirates went from an overrated system to one that is underrated. There are some very interesting guys beyond Griffin that people don’t talk about as much as they should. Luckily you have them on your radar so fans can hear about them.
