Scott Boras softens tone about Kyler Murray’s future with A’s
LAS VEGAS — Over the past two weeks, as questions about Kyler Murray’s potential NFL future came to the fore, his baseball agent, Scott Boras, was steadfast that the A’s top draft pick was committed to joining Oakland at spring training and fulfilling his baseball commitment.
During his annual scrum with reporters at baseball’s winter meetings, however, Boras was less firm in his response when The Chronicle asked if he remains convinced that Murray - Oklahoma’s Heisman Trophy winning quarterback - will not declare for the NFL draft.
