Apparently, not all minor league players in the New York Mets organization were happy with Tim Tebow as a teammate.
Andrew Church, a former second-round draft pick, was one of several minor league players released by the Mets on Thursday.
After his release, he wrote a lengthy Instagram post blasting the Mets organization for taking advantage of him during his career. He also appeared to call out Tim Tebow, when the Mets decided to sign a certain"celebrity" in 2016 to play in the minors, though he did not mention the former quarterback by name." made a mockery of our team by putting a celebrity on it to sell more tickets. I saw players lose their jobs because of it.
Church said he kept his thoughts to himself until now"out of respect for the organization." But circumstances have obviously changed. Tebow's minor league journey has been highly documented and often criticized. In 2017, he spent time between St. Lucie and Class A Columbia in the South Atlantic League. Last year, he played at Class AAA Syracuse.
Tebow, 32, is a career .223 hitter with 18 home runs and 327 strikeouts over 287 minor league games. The former Heisman Trophy winner will not play this summer due to the coronavirus pandemic, but will continue his broadcasting career.
