“#Sandy Alderson didn’t want Tim Tebow’s Mets dream to end yet<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n Sandy Alderson says it\u2019s still Tebow Time for the Mets.<\/p>\n

The Mets president on Monday said that that he encouraged Tim Tebow to return in 2021 and the former NFL quarterback agreed.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I talked to Tim Saturday, in-between Florida football and some other SEC [broadcasting] obligations,\u201d Alderson said. \u201cHe\u2019s anxious to come back. And I told Tim, \u2018Look, Why would you want to end your quest based on a Covid-related reason? You didn\u2019t get a chance to perform this year.\u2019 He was hurt a little bit the previous year. So I think Tim is committed to coming back. And I think we\u2019re committed to giving him an opportunity to do that and we\u2019ll see where it goes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not a quest without end. At some point it will culminate. But I think that will be at a time when Tim and the organization come to some agreement about where he is and what his potential is. But I didn\u2019t want him to go out based on some Covid-related interruption.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alderson, who returned to the Mets as team president earlier this month, was general<\/a> manager when the signed Tebow in 2016, a move made partly to attract more fans.<\/p>\n

Tebow, a leftfielder, has since made it to Trip<\/a>le A, but a hand injury in 2019 cut his season short for the second straight year.<\/p>\n

The 33-year-old hinted in a recent interview with MLB.com that he was set to return.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not something that I want to do forever \u2026 because there\u2019s a lot of other things that are in my heart that I want to pursue,\u201d Tebow said. \u201cBut it is something that is still in my heart today.\u201d<\/p>\n

In his three seasons in the minor leagues, Tebow, the former Jets quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner hit .223 with a .638 OPS while playing almost all of his game<\/a>s in left field.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that the organization has already benefitted significantly from his involvement with the Mets and his pursuit of a baseball career,\u201d Alderson said. \u201cI think the Mets have benefitted, I think baseball has benefitted. As I said, this is not something that will go on forever. At some point it will lose its cache or the interest of fans. But I couldn\u2019t be happ<\/a>ier with the way Tim has conducted himself as not only a teammate but a representative of the Mets. So given all that, he\u2019s entitled to another shot post-Covid. And I\u2019m happy he\u2019s coming back.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
