And, similar to the way he acts on the gridiron, Wilson is remaining confident in his abilities.<\/p>\n<p>He took to Instagram and challenged Yankee sluggers Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge to a home run derby, in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Bfga6BHnNiy\/?taken-by=dangerusswilson\">video he posted<\/a> on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t wait to see you guys Feb. 26,\u201d Wilson said. \u201cWe\u2019re going to have some fun for that week. Hey, Aaron Judge, I know you want to throw some passes, so let\u2019s play some ball. We\u2019ll have a little home run derby, too. Stanton, I\u2019m coming for you, too. We\u2019ll have some fun, baby. And hey, let\u2019s go win a World Series. Why not? Peace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Bfga6BHnNiy\/?taken-by=dangerusswilson<\/p>\n<p>Wilson was initially drafted by the Rockies in 2010, but was later traded to the Rangers. And just a few weeks ago, he was acquired by the Yankees via trade, which is why he&#8217;ll be with the team for spring training.<\/p>\n<p>It will be interesting to hear what Wilson&#8217;s Seahawks teammates think about his Yankees social media posts. Being a two-sport athlete certainly hasn&#8217;t worked out well for others in the past.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson will soon be joining the Yankees at spring training in Tampa, Fla., and he&#8217;s issued a&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[703638416,231608556],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.2 (Yoast SEO v22.2) -
