New York Mets outfielder Tim Tebow is expected to return for a third professional season in 2019, according to assistant general manager John Ricco. Tebow's season ended in late July when he broke the hamate bone in his right hand, which required surgery. The 31-year-old had hit .317/.348/.429 in June and July with Double-A Binghamton. However, he struck out 34.6 percent of the time and walked just 7.4 percent of the time. He's likely to start the year with Triple-A Syracuse next year. It's an interesting story, but Tebow is unlikely to have any kind of fantasy value if he ever makes it to the big leagues.
New York Mets outfielder Tim Tebow (hand) is scheduled to undergo surgery on Tuesday after breaking the hamate bone in his right hand while swinging over the weekend. He'll likely miss the rest of the season, according to an MLB source. The football star turned baseball professional was actually performing quite well at Double-A Binghamton this year, hitting .273/.336/.399 with six home runs and 36 RBI in 84 games. He's still highly unlikely to ever make it to the big leagues, and his pursuit will have to continue next year.
The New York Mets cut outfielder Tim Tebow from major league camp Tuesday, reassigning him to minor league camp. The demotion is much deserved, as Tebow had been slashing .056/.105/.056 this spring across 18 at-bats. In case you were wondering, those numbers amount to one hit. Tebow is likely to start the season with Double-A Binghamton, though a quick look at his career minor league statistics so far would make one question whether or not he deserves to be playing at a level that high. Stay far away from Tebow, even in dynasty formats.
