The 3 Hottest Stories Around MLB Right Now

There is no denying the fact that 19-year-old infielder Konnor Griffin making the jump to the big leagues as a teenager has been the biggest story in the league over the last week. Griffin was not only selected to make his big league debut, but ESPN's Buster Olney reported that him and the Pirates were "finalizing" terms on a nine-year, $140 million mega extension. This deal significantly tops other pre-MLB debut extensions.

It didn't take Griffin long to make an impact. Griffin went 1-for-3 in his big league debut with an RBI and a walk as well. He became just the fourth player since 1920 to record an RBI and walk in their big league debut as a teenager. The future is bright in Pittsburgh.

Jo Adell's Three Home Run Robberies

There have been other stories around the league, but no one else is robbing three home runs in the same game. It's unheard of . And yet Adell was able to do it for Los Angeles against the Seattle Mariners on Saturday.

Three home run robberies in just one game. Not even just that, the Angels won just 1-0. Adell's defense powered Los Angeles past Seattle and the baseball world certainly noticed.

The Struggling Boston Red Sox

Who saw the Red Sox having the worst record in the league through nine games? Boston currently sits at 2-7 despite an offseason full of additions. On paper, this club looks like a contender. In the standings, that's not the case right now. Something has got to give for Boston. The club is struggling both from a pitching perspective and with the offense. Not great.
