In probably the biggest trade the New York Yankees made this offseason, the team received Russell Wilson from the Texas Rangers.
There is now a legitimate debate on who gives Wilson more protection – his offensive line with the Seahawks, or Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, as seen in this Twitter poll.
While Wilson does not plan on playing baseball professionally, the Yankees said he does plan on going to Spring Training in a tweet.
“I want to personally thank the Texas Rangers and Jon Daniels for drafting me and giving me the chance to experience professional baseball again,” said Wilson in a statement.
