Russell Wilson traded to the New York Yankees

Just a week after Alex Smith was traded from the Kansas City Chiefs to Washington, another massive trade that hits much closer to home has just materialized.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, the man who has provided this franchise with so many spectacular moments, including the team’s first Super Bowl win, is now going to be wearing those famous pinstripes.

ESPN reported on Wednesday that Wilson has been shipped to the New York Yankees by the Texas Rangers for future considerations. Wilson is expected to make an appearance at Yankees spring training down in Tampa, Florida.
