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

Omar was not at home at the time of her death, a person briefed by the family told the Post. Significantly, suicide has been ruled out as a cause of death. 

The precise location of the Minaya home was not revealed by the Post and DailyMail.com's attempts to confirm her passing with local precincts have been unsuccessful. 


Rachel is survived by Omar and their two sons, Teddy and Justin. 

Justin is basketball player who suited up for both the Portland Trail Blazers and their G-League affiliate during the 2023-24 season.

Justin is back with the Trail Blazers Summer League team in Las Vegas this month. His father, Omar, appeared in the crowd during Wednesday's NBA Summer League action at the Cox Pavilion. 

Rachel, whose maiden name is Albright, was a native of New Jersey who met Omar while working at a unisex salon in Manhattan in 1989, according to a 2007 Sports Illustrated article about her husband.

The article goes on to detail a moment when Minaya considered adding controversial reliever John Rocker, who previously made racist remarks about New York to Sports Illustrated years earlier. 

Minaya admits he would have acquired the fiery reliever had it not been for his wife's disapproval. 

Omar became baseball's first Hispanic general manager when he took the position with the Mets in 2004. 

His tenure in Queens is best remembered for the blockbuster acquisitions of Boston Red Sox ace Pedro Martinez and All-Star outfielder Carlos Beltran.  

Omar has worked for the New York Yankees as a senior advisor to GM Brian Cashman since 2023. 

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

A native of the Dominican Republic, Omar moved to Queens at age 8 and grew up in Corona before becoming a star baseball player at Newtown High School in Elmhurst.
