Mets GM Says Tim Tebow is 'One Step Away' From Getting Called Up

Tim Tebow isn't on the New York Mets' major league roster yet, but there's a chance he could get called up next season.

On WFAN's Mike's On, Mets general manager Brodie Van Wagenen reiterated Wednesday that Tebow will start the season with the Triple-A Syracuse Chiefs. Van Wagenen noted that Syracuse is only "one step away" from the big leagues.

"I believe that if Tim is good enough to help us out at the major league level he'll play there," Van Wagenen, Tebow's former agent, said. "He's not going to want a courtesty shot at the big leagues.
