Source with knowledge of Kyler Murray talks says Murray has not made ANY monetary demands of the A’s. The meeting is exploring ways to ensure his baseball future but no dollar figure was presented by Murray or his reps.
— Susan Slusser (@susanslusser) January 14, 2019I'm told the A's could pay more to Kyler Murray by adding him to the 40-man roster (and thus giving him a major league contract). So long as MLB believes the A's didn't promise that before they signed him, MLB would not consider that a circumvention of the draft pool system.
