Tony Plate Will Tebow Stay a Met?

                                                   
                                                      

The Major League Baseball Players Association proposed a 114-game regular season when the league returns from suspension. It includes a regular season from June 30 through October 31, two years of expanded playoffs, $100 million in deferred money for the players and an opt-out clause for players if they don’t want to play. The MLB proposal included an 82-game regular season and pay reductions in addition to players’ prorated salaries.

 We shall see what the two sides agree on and you would think they would come to a solution soon, because a short while ago the 2020 year for all professional sports looked bleak plus there was talk that all of the sports leagues were going to cancel the rest of their seasons. 

So, now are they going to lose more time with talks that might be at an impasse? That would be unreal. This would not sit to well with the fans plus there might be some fans that may have lost interest in the season all together and time will tell.

There is a possibility that a minor league season won’t occur, which makes you wonder if Tim Tebow has played his last game in the organization. Tebow’s goal since day one was to make the team roster, which will now be a big challenge for him to accomplish.

Unless MLB puts in a rule change due to the nature of the season, the Mets will have to decide this offseason whether to add the 33-year-old Tebow to the 40-man roster or leave him unprotected during the Rule 5 draft.

Some might ponder, since the team is in win now mode, they should leave him unprotected in order to fill a roster spot with a veteran that has playoff experience. 

At the same time, would another team claim him and place him on their roster? If nobody claims him, he could return to the Mets, but would Tebow want to go back to minor league life?

 Perhaps a team that is in rebuilding mode or has attendance problems might be interested in his services due to his popularity with the Florida Gators since he is more well known for his college football success. 

Perhaps the Marlins might show some interest since they will not contend in the now tough National League East. Perhaps he could go to a non-contending American League team and be a DH.
