Tim Tebow 'One Step Away' from Making MLB Debut, Says Mets GM

It may not be too long before Tim Tebow is playing at an MLB stadium near you.

In a recent interview with WFAN radio (h/tUSA Today'sJesse Yomtov), new New York Mets general manager Brodie Van Wagenen said Tebow is just "one step away" from the big leagues as he will start the 2019 season with the Triple-A Syracuse Chiefs.

"If Tim Tebow is the best offensive player in Triple-A at [the time of an injury to a Mets outfielder], he's going to be in (manager Mickey Callaway's) lineup," Van Wagenen acknowledged to WFAN.
