Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson got the VIP treatment before Tuesday's game between the Houston Astros and New York Yankees at Minute Maid Park.
Prior to the game, Watson talked with Yankees starting pitcher CC Sabathia and 2017 American League Rookie of the Year Aaron Judge, per Mark Berman of Fox 26 in Houston:

Before any Houston fans start questioning his allegiances, Watson also spent time with Astros shortstop Carlos Correa and Hall of Famer Craig Biggio, per MLB.com's Brian McTaggart:
It shouldn't be lost that Watson didn't appear to be wearing a brace on his surgically repaired right knee, nor did he look to be favoring the knee when conversing with Sabathia and Judge, which is good news for the Texans ahead preparations for the 2018 season.
