The wife of Yankees executive and former Mets GM Omar Minaya was ‘found mysteriously dead at the couple’s New Jersey home while suicide is ruled out’

Rachel Minaya, the wife of former New York Mets general manager Omar Minaya, was found dead in her New Jersey home on Saturday, The New York Post is reporting.

Omar was not home at the time of his death, a person briefed on the family told The Post.

It is significant that suicide has been ruled out as a cause of death.

The couple had two adult sons. One of them, Justin, is a basketball player who played for both the Portland Trail Blazers and their G-League affiliate during the 2023-24 season.

Omar has been with the New York Yankees as a senior advisor to general manager Brian Cashman since 2023. He previously served as the Mets’ general manager from 2004 to 2010 before returning to Queens as a special assistant.

He also worked as an executive for the Montreal Expos and as a scout for the Texas Rangers.
