Just got an alert about it on my phone. It also says, though, that the Seahawks QB has no interest in becoming 2 sport athlete.
Just curious why the Yanks would make this move unless they think they have a chance at Wilson playing for them? Figured I'd ask some of you guys are who are more into baseball than I am.
I'm not sure why anyone would be bothered by this. Can someone explain?
Isn't he a 2nd baseman or OF?
Maybe an SB specialist?
Some are easily bothered.

It's clear to me now that he just likes Taylor Ham/Pork Rolls.

I think this fits more into the Yanks trying to improve their player training on leadership, winning and traits for success. They have run a "Captains Camp" for some of their high end prospects where they emphasized on and off-field leadership and behavior.
I think this is an extension of that. I think the Yanks want to expose their young prospects to winners from all walks of life and show them traits, mindsets and mannerisms of people who succeed so they players can emulate that. It should help prepare those players for the pressure cauldron that is New York and overcome adversity.
After saying all of that, it should come as no surprise that Judge was one of their attendees at Captians Camp in the past.
Whats up Coach! Doing well... just trying to stay awake with kid #2 happy to start crying from 10 pm to 2 am! LOL! Good to see you doing well sir. Funny, I saw a post from you on a different thread and thought to myself how it was good to see you posting... and here you are saying hi to me.
