New York Mets outfielder Tim Tebow retiring from pro baseball

New York Mets outfielder Tim Tebow said on Wednesday that he's retiring from professional baseball.

"I loved every minute of the journey, but at this time I feel called in other directions," Tebow said in a statement. "I never want to be partially in on anything. I always want to be 100 percent in on whatever I choose. Thank you again for everyone's support of this awesome journey in baseball, I'll always cherish my time as a Met. #LGM."

Tebow had been invited to big league spring training by the Mets this month, taking one of 75 spots after Major League Baseball limited spring roster sizes as a coronavirus precaution.
