Seahawks QB, Yankees minor leaguer Russell Wilson plots return to MLB

Seattle Seahawks quarterback and former Yankees minor leaguer Russell Wilson is plotting his return to MLB ... as an owner.

Wilson was announced Friday as an investor in the Portland Diamond Project, which is dedicated to bringing a major league team to Portland, Ore.

Joining Wilson as an investor is his wife, Ciara.

According to ESPN, this isn't Wilson's first attempt at ownership of a professional sports franchise:

Wilson is also a partner in a venture to bring the NBA back to Seattle. If either come to fruition, and Wilson is in line to become an owner, the NFL would ultimately have to approve the transaction, to ensure that any other partners would not be offering him extra incentive that could result in tampering.
