Kyler Murray (Age 28, Drafted 1st Round, 2018 by Oakland Athletics) chose football over baseball several years ago.
He walked away from the diamond to pursue a highly lucrative career on the gridiron as a first overall pick.
The dual-sport phenomenon proved his worth in the NFL, but baseball fans never stopped wondering what might have been.
Now that his football future is suddenly uncertain, the baseball universe is dreaming about a massive shockwave move.
The front office refuses to give up on his immense potential
Fans are absolutely buzzing at the crazy thought of seeing him finally wear the iconic green and gold uniform.
He dominated during his college days at Oklahoma before making his fateful professional choice to throw touchdowns instead.
We know he possesses blazing speed and incredible defensive instincts that translate perfectly to a major league outfield.
His current hitting statistics are obviously non-existent right now since he has not played competitive baseball in years [STATS À VÉRIFIER].
But you simply cannot teach the elite raw athleticism that originally made him a consensus top ten draft pick.
Taking a flyer on a freak athlete of this magnitude costs the team absolutely nothing right now.
It proves that the organization is thinking creatively to find explosive game-changing talent for the roster.
Patience is a virtue, and holding onto his exclusive baseball rights for all these years might actually pay off.
Even if the odds are incredibly slim, the sheer possibility brings a wonderful burst of energy to the entire clubhouse.
Every single scout knew he had the tools to become an absolute superstar on the baseball field.
We would welcome him with open arms if he ever decides to trade his football helmet for a fresh batting helmet.
