Baseball Primer Newsblog— The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand
Sunday, November 15, 2020
In 2017, less than a year after shifting his career from football to baseball, Tebow struggled to gain his footing in Class A ball. He thrived the next season regardless, until a broken hand cut it short. In 2019, another hand injury forced Tebow to miss the final two months of the season. Finally, this summer, the cancellation of the Minor League season resulted in zero live game reps for Tebow (and hundreds of others).
He is 33 now, openly contemplating his life after baseball. He’s just not there quite yet.
“I’m already behind the 8-ball in age and time and experience in all of these things, so of course it makes it harder,” Tebow said in a telephone interview, his first about baseball since March. “But I think at the same time, I try to learn from every bit of it. And that’s all that we can do.”

kudos
Is there anybody over 30 here likely to ever be a regular in the majors?
20s yeah, 30s, not at that salary. But that's not an issue for him.
EDIT: The article states the Mets didn't invite him.
LOL.
20-year-old Rickey was a better football player than Tebow. Too bad we didn't get to see.
