Will Tebow Be A Big Leaguer By Year's End?

By Tommy Gahan
@tgahan9

You might have heard of a man named Tim Tebow, Heisman winner, National Champion, First Round Pick in the NFL draft but now, somehow, a minor league baseball player. Yes, the 30 year old's transition back to the National Pastime was mocked by many (he had last played the sport in High School before this). Most viewed the New York Mets' acquisition of Tebow as a prospect was an easy cash grab publicity stunt, and perhaps it was. However, Tim packs the fans into small Bush League ballparks readily and his baseball abilities have improved enough for him to have an all star season in Double A Birmingham. So, with the Major League Mets having a sour season in Queens, will Tim get his shot by the end of 2018? No, he probably is not big league material, but the money generated by a bonafide superstar celebrity like Tebow would probably be worth it in the context of a lost season for New York's National League beacon. It is yet to be seen if the Christian QB will get his chance to shine in The Show, but Mets GM Sandy Alderson has publicly stated his belief in Tebow, so who's to believe that he will not find his way from the bright lights of the gridiron to the World's biggest ballparks?

The American League MVP Race - Who is leading the pack?

By Scott Edwards Twitter: @scottedwards18 As we approach the half way point of the MLB season, the AL MVP race begins to heat up with most of the dominant hitters in the MLB coming from the American League this season. From the impressive, historic start to the season by Mookie Betts, to the continued greatness of Mike Trout, this AL MVP race is truly the award race to follow this season. And so, as we are at the half way point, I felt it would be a good time to give an overview of who is leading and who has a chance to take it home by season’s end. Simply put, when all is said and done, Mike Trout could go down as the best baseball player to ever step on a field. At the young age of 26 years old, Trout is already a two-time MVP and six time all-star. And if we are being truly honest, he easily could have had another three MVP’s if it wasn't for three second place finishes. Yet miraculously, this year may somehow be Trout’s best campaign to date. The Angels’ star ou...

One Deadline Move Each AL Powerhouse Needs to Make

By Zane Robidoux Twitter: @zrobidoeee Between the Red Sox, Astros, Yankees and recently the Mariners, there has been no shortage of excitement atop the American League this year. All four teams are poised to make deep October runs, but in order to do so may need to do a bit of tweaking to their rosters. Not a lot needs to be done, but one acquisition could change a team completely. In order to make that leap from one of the best, to THE best, here’s one trade that each team should make by the deadline. Red Sox: Second Base Even though they have the best offense in baseball, the Red Sox have had absolutely no productivity out of the second base position all year. Eduardo Nunez has been filling in at second base this year in the absence of Dustin Pedroia, who was supposed to make a return at the end of May but played only 3 games before heading back to the disabled list. Nunez had been used in more of a utility man role in the past, so maybe part of the re...

Could Conor McGregor Ever Make A Comeback?

(via mmafighting.com) By Fabrizio Salerno Twitter: @fabriziosa1erno The UFC, being the multi-billion-dollar company that it is, needs no lesson on driving-in sales. With almost every pay-per-view promotion that UFC President Dana White conjures up, the public is intrigued to watch the end result. By elevating well-known athletes like Ronda Rousey, Nate Diaz, Chris Weidman, and, of course, Conor McGregor, the UFC has been a force to be reckoned with in the fighting world. While the success of the brand cannot be pinpointed to one individual, UFC certainly carried the wave of energy McGregor brought with him when was booked to fight. But by being out of fighting for a little over a year, does McGregor still have the spirit to get back and compete in the octagon. Conor is the main guy for UFC and any belt he wants he would go for. Whether he has to gain or lose weight, he takes on the challenge and gives the paying customers what they want. Take the "mega-...
