A lot has been made over the past couple of days about former Florida Gators and Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow hosting a workout for all 30 Major League teams and then being signed to a minor-league deal by the New York Mets and being assigned to the club's fall instructional league team.

On top of taking a spot from a minor-leaguer who has likely spent years just to get to that spot, as Kelly Nash so aptly pointed out on MLB Network's The Rundown, but now a new piece of information has come to light.

Watch Kelly Nash rip Tim Tebow for taking a spot from a deserving full-time ballplayer.

According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, Tebow won't even be with the team for all of the workouts, as he will still leave the team to continue working on ESPN.

Jacob Faria, one of the Rays top minor-league pitchers, is the latest to take umbrage with the former Heisman Trophy winning quarterback trying his hand at baseball.

Baseball is not just our hobby, or something that we do. It is the only thing we do. Guys do this every day... — Jacob Faria (@JDFaria36) September 9, 2016

...while they struggle to make somewhat of a living. This whole thing of Tim Tebow being allowed to take days away from baseball to work... — Jacob Faria (@JDFaria36) September 9, 2016

...for his other job is a slap in the face to the guys who do struggle, and have no choice but to either stick with it, or quit their dream — Jacob Faria (@JDFaria36) September 9, 2016

Faria, who was taken in the 10th round of the 2011 Draft, split his 2016 season between Double-A Montgomery and Triple-A Durham after being invited to big-league Spring Training for the first time.
