The chances of Kyler Murray ever playing a single inning of baseball for the Oakland A’s organization may have just taken a severe blow.
According to The Chronicle, Murray is expected to capitalize on his Heisman Trophy-winning season at Oklahoma by declaring for the NFL Draft Sunday, one day before the deadline to declare for underclassmen.
The thought of Murray choosing football over baseball back in June when he was drafted ninth overall was a pipe dream at best, but after leading the Sooners to a 12-2 record this season as they reached the College Football Playoff semifinals before falling to Alabama, the redshirt junior appears ready to capitalize on a wildly successful season.
