Tebow suddenly retires from baseball to pursue "other opportunities"

Good for him.

I'm sure Merrell Hoge will be breaking down Tebow's flawed swing any minute now.

The baseball-Tebow is on the upswing.
The Tebow-rule-2 will be the NL approving the DH.

The Mets single-A team is in my city - I'd love to go watch him.

 

[MertzJay26]

I guess this makes it look like less of a publicity stunt for the Mets since nobody in NY loves Tebow.

If Braves, Rockies or FL team sign him it would look a little worse IMO

Thought the braves had him?

I was hoping :(. Would have bought a shirsey, but no way I buy a Mets one

Tickets and merch sales are sure to go through the roof.

Tebow will work his way into a baseball slugger... and then let the cameras
roll on the products' endorsements. = money for his charity.

Miracle. What can Tim Tebow do? The Mets have wasted no time in trying to capitalize.

NBA next?

It's confirmed - Tebow is coming to my town!

The New York Mets signed Tim Tebow to a minor league contract and said he will begin his professional baseball career on their instructional league team in Port St. Lucie, Florida.

I'm going to some games.

Whoever runs that team just went "sproing"! Record crowd next game.

At least there will be one honest person in NY

Are Instructional league and single A the same league or played at different times there?

 

[gardnerwebbgator]

Instructional runs through the fall and spring training. Your minors start with rookie league, then lower A (Sally League), then advanced A (Florida State League).

Mets:

Rookie - Kingsport, TN
Lower A - Columbia, SC
Advanced A - Port St. Lucie, FL
AA - Binghamton, NY
AAA - Las Vegas, NV

Brilliant move for the Mets. They sign Tebow and attendance at their games in Port St. Lucie goes way up. They sell Tebow jerseys and bobble heads and make money while giving him a really low paying contract.

If he works out... double win... if not... they still cashed.

 

[Chomper]

MLB is boring and I have no interest in it regardless of who is playing. But I wish Tebow well because he is an honest person who works hard at everything he does.

Let me know when you want to catch a game.

Wishing Tebow the best! If there's any athlete that can transition over to another sport it'd be him.
