Is Tim Tebow a real baseball player?

The former Heisman trophy winner may stand a chance to play in the MLB after all

New York Mets prospect Tim Tebow

It was a lazy Sunday morning. Baseball Twitter was winding down from all the hot stove excitement that was brought to us Saturday after the Padres handed Eric Hosmer an 8-year contract and the Rays made a series of moves with various teams as they also prepare for the upcoming season.

Spring Training was upon us and only a few more moves needed to be made. After a crazy winter, everything was starting to feel right in the world of baseball.

But then Mets GM Sandy Alderson decided he had something to tell us:

Tim Tebow, the 30-year-old minor leaguer who struggled through his rookie season of professional baseball last summer, is apparently on Alderson’s radar as a major league prospect? This has to be a joke. Perhaps Alderson was misquoted.

Let's see what the Mets new manager Mickey Callaway has to say about this. Hopefully he can clear things up:

Well … okay then.

Ladies and gentlemen, whether or not you believe Alderson or Callaway when they say that Tebow could potentially help the big league club, the only possible reason Mets management would be promoting the idea of an eventual Tebow call up would be if they were seriously considering the move … right?

I mean, that’s gotta be the only logical explanation. Why else would they be doing this?

*quickly checks notes before throwing them aside*

Well, ya know … hey, let’s just have fun with this, come on. What would Tebow look like as an everyday major leaguer?
