The New York Yankees just get all the stars. Apparently not content with their baseball-rocking acquisition of former Miami Marlins star Giancarlo Stanton, the Yankees reached an agreement with the TexansRangers to acquire Russell Wilson, according to a report from ESPN.com.
Apparently, the Rangers have been aware of Wilson's longtime desire to play for the Yankees, and the deal has been in the works for weeks. The Rangers acquired future considerations in exchange for Wilson's services.
Of course, Wilson has no plans to actually become a full-time two-sport professional athlete. He is going to remain the quarterback of the Seattle Seahawks, and that's it. He'll do his appearance at spring training, take some batting practice and some photos, and then get back to work. For what it's worth, Wilson hit .228 with five home runs in 315 short-season minor league at-bats during the 2010 and 2011 seasons.

(182,279 posts)Outfield second short but I did find an ESPN article that said he had 80-90 MPH off the mound.
BTW - Joe Namath was drafted by the Orioles back in the day. They figured why not - with his arm they could always make him into a pitcher.
