Omar Minaya has job offers from multiple teams

By Allan

Former New York Mets’ GM Omar Minaya has received multiple offers from Major League teams in the last few weeks, according to Enrique Rojas of ESPNdeportes.com.

“I have many offers for different positions, including a few as assistant general manager, but I’m in no hurry,” Minaya said.

The Wall Street Journal reported last week that Minaya had been offered a position as special assistant to the Arizona Diamondbacks’s GM Kevin Towers.  At the time, nothing was imminent with Minaya, but he had planned to meet with Mets’ GM Sandy Alderson to see how he could fit in the new Mets’ front offer.

“That doesn’t necessarily have to be that way,” Minaya said. “I’m basically a free agent that will try to return, but right now I’m taking care of family affairs, resting and soon I will make a trip with my family to the Dominican Republic. After that, I will make a decision.”

Minaya, 51, is under contract with New York through 2012, but he has not decided what he will do. He’s good friends with owner Fred Wilpon, and he says that he would like to stay in New York. It’s believed that he was being paid a little more than $1 million per season as the team’s GM.
