Who would have thought, as of Thursday morning, after a joke was made of former Heisman Trophy Winning and NFL quarterback Tim Tebow trying out for Major League Baseball, a team has signed him.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the New York Mets have signed Tim Tebow to a Minor League deal.
Mets are signing Tim Tebow to a minor-league contract, an MLB source tells ESPN. Instructional League or Arizona Fall League next for Tebow.

The Mets were of course one of the 27 teams who attended Tebow’s open workout in Los Angeles two weeks ago.
The 29-year-old will not play for the Scottsdale Scorpions, the Mets’ minor-league affiliate in the Arizona Fall League, but rather in the team’s Instructional League.

Tim Tebow might not be wearing this hat again anytime soon…
