Russell Wilson just got traded...

But, relax, it’s in baseball.

The Seahawks’ franchise quarterback announced Wednesday the Texas Rangers had traded him to the New York Yankees for what is being termed as “future considerations.”

The trade is ceremonial. What it means is Wilson will make annual cameos at the spring-training camp of the Yankees now instead of the Rangers, for whom he was a uniformed “guest” taking ground balls the last few springs.
