In something of a shock move, the Mets have hired Omar Minaya as a special assistant to GM Sandy Alderson.
Ed Kranepool is insulted that no one from the Mets has called him during his recent run of bad health that’s seen him undergo three surgeries.
Mets PR man Jay Horwitz, in a rather bizarre move, told the New York Times that the estrangement between Kranepool and the Mets is due to Kranepool having criticized the Wilpons at a party six years ago for their financial management of the team during the Madoff scandal.
