According to ESPN's Buster Olney, Omar Minaya's job status is up in the air ever since the general manager went on an uncalled for rant about New York Daily News reporter Adam Rubin. Tuesday night, owner Jeff Wilpon gave his support behind Minaya saying that he "was his GM." That is the ultimate kiss of death. Remember last year when Minaya told reporters that Willie Randolph "was his manager"?
Wilpon went on to say that Minaya had "embarrassed" the organization with his blow up on Monday, but he felt the GM has learned from his mistakes and felt sorry for lashing out at Rubin.
Stay tuned. If Minaya wants to keep his job, he may have to swing a big trade in the next couple of days, or do something to earn the trust of ownership back. He is on thin ice!!
