When college football winds down in January, Tim Tebow’s focus will shift back to the baseball diamond.

New York Mets general manager Sandy Alderson told ESPN’s Adam Rubin that Tebow will likely spend most of his time in minor league spring training, but could be borrowed by the major league spring training squad for some Grapefruit League games which take place in February and March. Major league Mets manager Terry Collins was also quoted as saying he thinks it would be fun to have Tebow with the major league spring team.

Alderson told Rubin that Tebow in the major league camp would be about “advertising purposes.”

“We knew he’d be overmatched in the Arizona Fall League. We also felt that he needed to play games,” Alderson said. “And so, as we look at going into spring training and his first full season, I think the same priorities would hold true — he needs to play games. Under most circumstances that would mean, look, he’s in minor league camp. He’s playing games every day. He comes over once in a while. And, at the end of camp, he goes to a full-season team. I think that’s what we would foresee. Now, things could change based on how he performs or what have you.”

In 62 at-bats with the Scottsdale Scorpions this fall, Tebow hit .194 with three doubles, two RBIs and eight walks along with 20 strikeouts. Prior to taking part in the instructional league earlier this year, Tebow had not played organized baseball since high school. He has maintained his role on the SEC Network as an analyst and “SEC Nation” host.
