Analysis: Russell Wilson may not be using baseball for leverage but he may be sending a message

Exploring whether it means anything that Russell Wilson just can't quite quit baseball.

No, no one anywhere thinks for a second Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson would give up an incredibly lucrative and successful football career to take a shot at baseball at the age of 29.

Given that, maybe the idea that there is any ulterior meaning to Wilson once again dipping a toe into baseball — he was traded Wednesday by the Rangers to the Yankees for “future considerations” and it was announced he will take part in one day of spring training with New York next month — is equally ludicrous.
