TAMPA -- By now, you probably know that Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson will be suiting up with the Yankees and training with them for a few days this spring.
Details emerged Thursday when Wilson announced on Twitter that he'd be showing up Monday in a selfie video that included a home run derby challenge to Yankees sluggers Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton.

Wilson was in New York City and wearing a Yankees cap for his video, which included a mention that he's planning on being with the Yankees for a week.
Wilson apparently will be coming with footballs, too, because Judge has put it out there that he'd like to catch some passes from the Super Bowl-winning QB.
"I'm headed to spring training on Monday," Wilson said "I can't wait to see you guys Feb. 26 for that week. Hey, Aaron Judge, I know you want to throw some passes, so let's play some ball and we see what happens .... And we'll have a little home run derby, too.
"Stanton, I'm coming for you too. We'll have some fun baby."
Wilson will not play in any Grapefruit League games, the Yankees announced Thursday.
Wilson will wear No. 73 with the Yankees and locker between new third baseman Brandon Drury and first baseman Tyler Austin.
Drury is a native of Oregon and is a lifelong Seahawks fan who has made a lot of six-hour drives with his family to Seattle for NFL games.
"I'm a big Russell Wilson fan, so that's pretty cool," Drury said.
