PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Since Tim Tebow arrived at Mets camp last Monday, he has stayed confined to the back fields, logging work with his Minor League teammates.
That is about to change. The Mets tentatively plan to borrow Tebow from Minor League camp for his Grapefruit League debut Wednesday against the Red Sox, according to a source. Tebow is also likely to play Friday against the Astros, with both games at home at First Data Field.
The former Heisman Trophy-winning football player will appear late in those games as one of several Minor Leaguers on the roster.
