From SI.com:
"While the Mets were taking batting practice and the Marlins were stretching, Mets General Manager Omar Minaya engaged third baseman Miguel Cabrera in about a 10-minute conversation. Per Major League Baseball directive, it was tampering. Was Minaya recruiting Cabrera, a free agent after the 2009 season?"
That's what I like about Omar Minaya, he's always working. Why wait until 2009 to lay the seeds of a possible free agent signing? Do it now. Maybe he'll demand a trade mid-season or something. Who knows.
I'm sure Omar's going to play it off as they were talking about a mutual friend or where the best refried beans are in Miami, but the point is, Omar isn't thinking about improving the team just this year, he's thinking about improving the team YEARS from now. Go Omar.
This is a the kind of thing that I could see Theo Epstein doing. But Epstein would do it in a bear suit. I love that guy.
