Before trade to Eagles, A.J. Brown called this MLB team about becoming the next Bo Jackson - Delaware Online
“I was dead serious,” Brown told Delaware Online/The News Journal about playing baseball. “(The Padres) had reached out to me. They were about to invite me to spring training. They were just waiting on an answer from me.” But there was one snag. Brown said the Padres weren’t interested in him becoming the next dual-sport star like Bo Jackson or Deion Sanders, playing baseball until late summer before switching over to football. “They were telling me if I’m (still) going to play football, then I can’t play baseball,” Brown said.
