Russell Wilson heading down to Yankees spring training, hints at HR Derby with Aaron Judge

TAMPA, Fla. - There's a locker waiting for Russell Wilson at Yankees camp, with his nameplate and No. 73 hanging above.

And now he's on his way to Steinbrenner Field.

On Thursday, the Super Bowl champion quarterback announced via Twitter that he'll arrive in camp on Monday for a week - telling Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton to get ready.

The Seattle Seahawks quarterback tweeted a video of himself in New York City while wearing a Yankees cap, tagging Judge and Stanton in his post.

"Hey Aaron Judge, I know you want to throw some passes, so let's play some ball. And we'll see if we'll have a little home run derby too," Wilson said.

"Stanton, I'm coming for you too," the QB said with a smile. "We'll have some fun baby.''

And Wilson concluded by adding: "Hey, and let's go win a World Series, why not?''

Wilson isn't expected to play in any exhibition games according to new manager Aaron Boone, who's just happy to have the champ in camp.

"I know he loves baseball, he was a Yankees fan growing up, so I know excited, first and foremost, he is to come here and be around the guys,'' Boone said.

“But yeah, we’re talking about a high-character guy, a guy who’s won at the highest level in the NFL,’’ Boone said. “He’s developed a reputation as a tremendous leader. So, anytime we can get people like that around our guys, it’s something that we welcome.

“He’s just as excited to be here as we are to have him.’’

New Yankee infielder Brandon Drury, a Seahawks and Wilson fan from Oregon, found his locker right next to his favorite QB on Thursday.

"That's pretty cool,'' Drury said. "Just the way he plays the game, that guy's a winner. I know he’s really smart and studies the game and cares, so I'm really excited about getting to know him for sure.''

The Yankees traded for Wilson earlier this month. Wilson, a second baseman, had previously been a member of the Texas organization since 2013 when he was taken in the Rule 5 draft.
