Toronto Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins confirmed to reporters Tuesday his team will be among 20 MLB clubs expected to send scouts to former NFL quarterback Tim Tebow's workout in Los Angeles next week.

Tebow, who hasn't played competitive baseball since high school, will reportedly run a 60-yard dash, catch fly balls, make throws to the bases, and take live batting practice during the Aug. 30 showcase, according to the New York Post's Joel Sherman.

Tebow's pursuit of a professional baseball career has led him to Scottsdale, Ariz., where he's been training and swinging against former major-league pitcher David Aardsma, who appeared in 14 games for the Blue Jays' Triple-A affiliate earlier this season.

"He has an amazing swing," Atkins told Richard Griffin of the Toronto Star. When asked about what position the former Florida Gators star would play, Atkins admitted he wasn't sure.

The Philadelphia Phillies are also among the nearly two dozen teams expected to attend the anticipated showcase, according to MLB.com's Todd Zolecki, though a pact between the two sides is said to be unlikely. Tebow was cut by the neighboring Eagles late last summer while trying to secure their backup quarterback job.

The Boston Red Sox will also be in attendance, president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski said Tuesday.

While it's unclear which other teams will send representatives to see Tebow ply his trade on the diamond, the Los Angeles Dodgers reportedly put the 29-year-old through a private tryout prior to the start of the season, and are believed to have shown interest in him afterward, too, according to ESPN.
