Murray is no stranger to baseball, as he was once drafted in the first round by the Oakland Athletics in the 2018 Draft. He signed a deal that paid him a $4.86 million signing bonus but eventually chose to go pro as a football player after a Heisman-winning campaign with the University of Oklahoma. He was drafted No. 1 overall by the Cardinals the following spring and recently signed a five-year extension.
This isn’t the first time players from other Phoenix sports franchises have attended Diamondbacks games in recent seasons. Last season, the Phoenix Suns took in a game, with star forward Kevin Durant wearing a Corbin Carroll jersey. Diamondbacks players have also taken in games from the other team, with Ryne Nelson and Brandon Pfaadt recently taking in a Coyotes game.
