You don’t think mlb teams want to sweat bullets like the As have over him being reported to move towsrds football the past two months?


MLB drafts multiple football players every year that have no intention of playing baseball. That's the calculated risk they take.

NFL Players drafted by MLB

This isn't a new phenomenon. Murray and Ealy are incredibly talented athletes, but this isn't the first time someone has been in their situation.

And do you see how everyone one of those players in that link (who were drafted in the modern era) were drafted after round 15 and weren’t top baseball prospects?

The only exception was Brandon Weedon, who played four years of baseball without playing football. That link literally only further backed my point that top draft picks, like Ealy, don’t play both except Murray, and no team is going to cut a deal like Murray’s after all the speculation and sweating they Oakland will lose him.
