Let's Talk About Mets, Baby: They Signed Tim Tebow
Fun fact about the headline pun: That song makes Tim Tebow feel very uncomfortable.
According to Adam Schefter’s first ever baseball scoop, the New York Mets have signed Tim Tebow to a minor league deal. Tebow’s career will begin with the Mets’ instructional league team in Port St. Lucie, Florida, where Tebow will presumably learn how to play baseball. The Mets announced the deal by making everyone incredibly uncomfortable:

I’m not a regular youth pastor. I’m a cool youth pastor.
It’s actually a very Mets move. Tebow hasn’t played organized baseball since 2005, but he’s been training since…June. So, you know, he’s basically Miguel Cabrera. Plus, the Mets needed to hit their quota of one person in the organization that makes their fans uncomfortable, and since everyone rocking the blue pinstripes is just totally cool with Jose Reyes, Tebow kneeling will have to be the conduit.
But let’s not let our boredom of Tebow and end-of-the-year baseball fatigue get in the way here. I’ll say this: AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH THE METS SIGNED TIM TEBOW. Will they pay him for the next 40 years too? I sent out a feeler text to my biggest Mets fan friend. A message of “lol Tebow” was met with a response of “Whatever.” Typical Mets fan ennui.
