SURPRISE, AZ – According to insider sources at Surprise Stadium, the Kansas City Royals are allegedly in the final stages of a historic negotiation with the Oakland A’s to acquire the MLB rights for Kyler Murray. Murray, now an NFL free agent, was drafted in the first round at #9 by Oakland in the 2018 first-year-player MLB Draft.
Adding a layer of unprecedented complexity to the potential deal, sources indicate the Kansas City Chiefs are actively involved in the logistical framework, signaling a potential multi-sport residency in the heartland that would redefine the "dual-threat" athlete for the modern era.
NOTE: This story isn't real..but why couldn't it be?
The A's allowed Murray to play his final football season at the University of Oklahoma (2018-2019). That fall, Murray led the Sooners to the Big 12 Championship, a College Football Playoff birth, and won the Heisman Trophy in the process. That spring, Cardinals drafted Murray #1 becoming the only athlete in history to be drafted in the top 10 in two professional sports.
Murray’s potential return to thediamond is backed by a statistical profile that made him a top 10 MLB draft pick. During his breakout 2018 junior season at Oklahoma, Murray posted a .296 batting average with 10 home runs and 47 RBIs, ranking 8th in the Big 12 in Isolated Power (.259).
A "Royal" Dual-Sport Future
The proposed deal for Murray is allegedly driven by a unique compensation structure not unlike Shohei Ohtani's with the LA Dodgers but spans two professional sports in the same city. The contract might include a veteran-minimum NFL commitment, a significant licensing share and playing time share based on each team's needs (ex: trigger events like QB1 activation if Patrick Mahomes is injured).
Murray Spotted in Surprise, AZ last month?
Last month, spring training staff at Surprise Stadium (where the Royals play) and fans allegedly spotted him in the dugout and that evening on the grounds, after a Royals clubhouse meeting with all staff and player personnel.
