Reportedly wants 15 million more from A's or he'll enter nfl draft. Can the A's even do this? Wouldn't it be the same as going too much over slot?

Since he signed the initial contract, wouldn't the A's keep his rights even if he went to the NFL?Quote:

Yes. The Yankees for example currently have the baseball rights to Russell Wilson.Quote:

Well he could get hurt for one. But more importantly, he will have missed a pretty significant amount of development time, putting him on a pace to reach the majors by age 26-27 at the earliest. Letting him go to the NFL over an extra 10 million or so is not very smart.Quote:
