Not to mention he’s got 5 million guaranteed and he gets to play baseball forever.

He won’t have to put his body through the NFL and most likely live a long healthy life after baseball. Living it up in Cali.

And if he reaches his potential he's going to make a LOT more money.

Baseball players do have the potential to make a lot more money, no doubt about it, but it's so much harder to make it in baseball. I read something not that long ago that like 60-65% of 1st round draft picks actually make it to the big leagues. That's years after minor league ball. Seems a bit of a risk and a bet on himself to make it in baseball, when he would be a first rounder in NFL.
