Tebow has notified his current employer, ESPN, of his desire to play baseball, but he will continue to fulfill his obligations to the network, ESPN.com reported.

His agents Jimmy Sexton and Nick Khan told Schefter that Tebow will hold a workout for Major League Baseball teams at some point this month. Not even the best baseball player could take 11 years off from the game, pick up a bat and glove, and have the ability to hit a 95 miles per hour fastball on the outside corner and stay back on a nasty curveball or wicked slider.
Tim Tebow is final hanging up the football cleats, only to dust off his baseball spikes. Jordan did retire in his prime to play minor league baseball for the Chicago White Sox’s AA affiliate in the Birmingham Barons, ironically owned by Chicago Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf. In this book, Tebow “explains why neither the highs nor the lows of his life can defined him – and he reveals how you, too, can find an unshakeable identity and objective”.
“This may sound like a publicity stunt, but nothing could be further from the truth”, Van Wagenen wrote. The USA TODAY reports that Tebow has trained in Arizona the last several months with former major league catcher Chad Moeller. He hit.494 with four home runs, earning All-State recognition in Florida. It’ll get fans to a baseball game with a football jersey on. Tebow didn’t play as a senior to focus exclusively on football, eventually landing a scholarship with the Gators and being a part of two national championship teams.
Addded Boomers general manager Pete Laven: “I understand that Tim’s ultimate goal is to make it to the major leagues, just like every other guy on our team”. He’s been in training camps since but never again played in a regular season game.
We wish him all the best as he tries to succeed where the basketball GOAT could not.

“Someone is going to sign him”, Decker said on Tuesday. “I think he’d be a great fit here in Schaumberg”. A scout was present for the workout and the team showed interest in Tebow afterward, the sources said.
