DAVIE – The Miami Dolphins never pursued Tim Tebow. But the Miami Marlins could.
Tebow, the former Heisman Trophy winning quarterback from the University of Florida, apparently has ended his pursuit of returning to the NFL and now will turn his attention to baseball, a sport he has not played since 2005.
Tebow plans to hold a workout for major league baseball teams this month, according to his agents. Tebow was an all-state baseball player at Nease High School in Ponte Vedra Beach, hitting .494 as a junior, before giving up the sport to pursue football.
