The Arizona Cardinals planning to release Kyler Murray is one of the more notable moves in the NFL’s offseason so far, but it seems like Murray has an opportunity to change his career in professional sports from football.
According to the Athletics GM, David Forst, the A’s are open to Murray joining the team if he decides he wants to return to baseball. The Athletics own his MLB rights since they also drafted him in 2018, alongside the Cardinals.
"He and his baseball representatives know that we’re always open to him exploring a return to baseball with the A’s if that time ever comes,” Forst said.
So, when’s the last time Murray played baseball? That would be when he was playing in college for the Oklahoma Sooners, where he played two seasons. In those two seasons he was an outfielder, where he slashed .261/.381/.466/.847 with 13 doubles, 10 home runs, 47 RBI and 10 stolen bases in 78 games played.

Currently, the A’s outfield is made up of Lawrence Butler, Denzel Clarke, and Tyler Sodestrom. Of those guys, it’s possible that Murray could play over at least Clarke, and maybe even Butler.
With the NFL seemingly out on Murray, and an MLB club welcoming him in with a guaranteed contract, there seems like there is an easy decision to be made by the NFL superstar.
