Omar Minaya deserves to bask in Jacob deGrom’s Mets success
NY Post
Omar Minaya was talking about his 6-foot-6 son, Justin, and the forward’s decision to transfer from South Carolina to Providence. His kid wants to play basketball in the Big East, and move a little closer to his family’s northern New Jersey home, and Minaya was all but jumping through the phone while envisioning the games he will get to see in person.
“I’m a basketball scout now,” he said through his signature laugh. He is also a Mets ambassador who knows a thing or two about scouting baseball players. Over the past 31 years, the Mets have won the National League East a grand total of two times. Minaya was the team’s general manager for the 2006 division title, and the team’s long-fired-but-not-forgotten talent collector for the 2015 division title and trip to the World Series. He was also the GM who, four months before he was fired, picked Jacob deGrom in the ninth round of the 2010 draft.
