It has been announced that Tim Tebow has been promoted and will start the year in AAA by [crossout:3pu7db47]his agent[/crossout:3pu7db47] the Mets GM!

oh, he still pretends he plays baseball? I thought he was too busy excusing college football deaths.

Good thing they're not in Vegas any more.

The Rochester Red Wings were promoting this heavily today, pushing their "Mets Pack" for when Syracuse comes to town.

I believe Sandy Alderson said Tebow could make it to the MLB level

In general, the non-baseball segment of the sports media takes Tebow news a lot more seriously than does the baseball corner of that business (I've already heard this news reported several times
and mocked at least once just today alone). But the one segment within baseball that doesn't ignore Tebow news is the league opponents that will face him for the upcoming season, even once
you're out of the south apparently.


This week's 'news' from Brodie is really kind of non-news. Given Tebow's age and late start you have to push him aggressively if there is to be any hope at all of him making it at the highest level.
There could also be other factors playing into this such as what other OFs they expect to be where when the season starts, but for the most part you'd think this year would be the make or break
one for T.T. so why not AAA? although, if I were 31 and already rich with a lot of free time on my hands during the summer, there are worse things I could imagine than spending it in the minor
leagues so maybe his quest will continue beyond this year even if he never gets a 2019 call-up.

It's a non-issue until/unless he starts hitting like he belongs in the major leagues.

I'm certain he was on the verge of a AAA promotion when he got hurt. It's non-news to me too, but I guess it's a call that made sense to make early in order to maximize marketing potential.

He's going to likely spend most of the 2019 season playing here in my town. Maybe I'll see him at the mall I never go to. I could give a half a fig about Tim Tebow. He's just another old minor leaguer without a big league skill set. Roster filler.
