In the midst of a big offseason that’s seen the team re-sign reigning American League MVP Aaron Judge and add ace pitcher Carlos Rodón, the Yankees made another move on Thursday—this time to bolster their front office.
The team announced that it has hired former Mets general manager Omar Minaya as senior advisor to baseball operations. It will be Minaya’s first job in a team’s front office since 2020.
Minaya, 64, became the first Hispanic general manager when he took the position with the Expos in 2002. He left for the Mets in ’05, returning to the franchise after a stint as assistant general manager in the 1990s under Steve Phillips.
