Yankees Hire Former Mets GM Omar Minaya as Baseball Operations Advisor

Jack Curry of YES said that the New York Yankees have hired a veteran executive as an advisor.

In 2002, Minaya became the first Latino general manager of a baseball team.

Brian Sabean joined the Yankees on Tuesday as an executive adviser to general manager Brian Cashman.

Minaya's teams failed to make the playoffs in each of his three years as GM, but he was known for bringing in high-profile players. During his time with the Mets, he acquired a number of players.

The farm system was built with the help of the GM.

The Mets rehired Minaya as a special assistant to the general manager in 2017.

He was given an ambassadorship position in order to reach out to the Latino community.

Minaya joined the MLB league office as an amateur scout.

"Omar is a highly respected figure across our sport who will help shape our future initiatives in the amateur space," the commissioner said. He will bring his scouting expertise and experience to multiple MLB clubs. We are looking forward to his contribution.

The Yankees hope that this experience can help them win the World Series.

The Yankees have made the playoffs in each of the past six years, but they haven't won an American League title.
