I figured the biggest two sport star and first guy to potential go 1st round in both drafts deserved his own thread.

MLB’s position is the #Athletics would be permitted to select Kyler Murray to their 40-man roster and sign him to a major league deal because the team did not contemplate or discuss such a possibility as an inducement when it originally signed him of the draft.

Some of Twitter is in a tizzy over this, but they forget how many dudes used to get deals like this before MLB imposed draft cap rules on guys signing MLB deals out of the draft.

Boras is going to maximize the best value for his guy, and surely they know the risks of him going to the NFL, so perhaps the plan all along once they realized he was Heisman material was to drive up the baseball price to make it worth his while.

If so, genius level move.
