Two major league teams are reportedly expressing the most serious interest in acquiring the former NFL quarterback.
That doesn’t mean he’s likely to be stepping onto a major league diamond any time soon, though, as his scouting showcase proved.
So, which teams are intrigued by what Tebow brings to the field?
Pedro Gomez tells us the two #MLB organizations he has heard have the most interest in Tim Tebow are the #Rockies & #Braves.

Yes, the Braves and the Rockies are apparently expressing the most interest. Both teams are rebuilding, which means they’re in a place where resources can be blown on things like a 29-year-old former NFL player who can’t throw attempting to transition to baseball. There might be a <1% chance he becomes a productive MLB player, but they’re not really costing themselves anything by giving it a shot.
And in the case of the Rockies especially, they might actually stand to gain quite a bit if he makes it. Denver is surprisingly still enamored with Tebow, dating back to his time as Broncos quarterback. It’s actually fascinating how he remains a topic of discussion and debate, and it’s not a stretch to assume that Tebow #15 Rockies jerseys would be a hot-selling item, and provide a quick boost of revenue that might prove profitable on top of whatever Tebow is able to provide on the field.
Tim Tebow is, and has been for quite some time now, a sideshow. This latest development is only proving that he’s capable of taking that show on the road to other sports.
