It's only been a day since Tim Tebow held a showcase for MLB scouts to come and see him play baseball and a team has already offered the former NFL player a contract.
Yes. A real, professional baseball team wants to pay Tim Tebow to play baseball.
The Bridgeport Bluefish, who play in the independent Atlantic League, have dared to offer Tim Tebow a spot on their roster for the 2016 season.
According to the team's general manager, “The Bluefish welcome Tim with open arms. The Atlantic League is all about giving players opportunity, and we think Bridgeport would be a great place for him to begin his professional baseball career.”
It might not be Fenway Park, but Bridgeport Bluefish Stadium isn't the worst place in the world for Tebow to start. After all, it's good enough for former Major Leaguer Endy Chavez, who plays outfield for the team.
Tebow and his agent will likely wait a little longer to see if an actual MLB team comes a-calling, but if no one else is interested, don't be surprised if Tim Tebow is packing his bags for Connecticut--and not to work at ESPN, either.
