This is a long way from over. He put he name in for the NFL draft. He didn't get drafted and signed by the NFL. We'll see how this plays out. MLB will try and help Oakland keep him. Through marketing, through helping Oakland get their new stadium (if Oakland offers him more than current bonus). It's not an accommodation if Oakland signs him to a MLB contract and puts him on the 40 man roster. It's within the rules.

Yeah I know. I'm just operating under the assumption that he will be a first rd pick as many are saying and choose football. If he takes that route it will be a very bad look for Oakland who knew the risk when drafting. However, I still don't see MLB making any special accommodations or circumstances for him. If they budge, top prospects can demand the same money and the same terms. Chaos for a player who will take 3 years to develop.
