No, he’s not going to continue working for ESPN; instead, Tim Tebow is going to try and become a professional baseball player.

“Are you insinuating we need a Hail Mary at this point?” he said.
The Waldorf, Maryland, based team has not heard from Tebow’s agent yet. The Blue Crabs are independent team playing in the Atlantic League. He last played organized baseball in high school.
Tebow, who turns 29 on Sunday, has been training in Scottsdale with former major league catcher Chad Moeller.
Tebow will be conducting a public workout at the end of the month, and all 30 major league baseball teams will be invited to attend. “Knowing Tim’s passion and desire, we won’t be surprised by anything he accomplishes”.
The offer by the Blue Crabs was not Tebow’s reportedly only offer on Tuesday.
It appears former Florida Gator star and Heisman Trophy victor Tim Tebow may have given up the dream of getting back into the National Football League, but hasn’t given up on being a professional athlete.
“We’re looking for an athletic outfielder who can bring some leadership and competitiveness into the clubhouse”, said Boomers Manager Jamie Bennett. “Tebow brings all of those characteristics and then some”. “As far as the skill aspect, I think hitting a baseball is one of the hardest things to do”.
Agent Brodie Van Wagenen, the co-head of CAA Baseball, said in a statement that the workout is not a publicity stunt. It’ll sell tickets. I just want to see what kind of player he is.
Some took to Twitter to voice their approval.
“I spent time with Tim Tebow in the cages”, Sheffield wrote, “he’s a NATURAL”.
Subsequently, here are three reasons why the Lakers should totally, definitely, tell Tim Tebow to come play basketball and sign him on to wear the Purple and Gold. For example, while he was attempting to stay in the NFL as a quarterback, the Arena Football League’s Los Angeles Kiss offered him a contract to play quarterback, but he turned it down. He went to training camp with the New England Patriots in 2013 and the Philadelphia Eagles in 2015 but was cut before the season each time.
