Note: Minaya is in Love with Miguel Cabrera
Last week, in his blog for ESPN.com, citing ‘industry sources,’
Peter Gammons wrote that teams have been notified by the Marlins that 3B Miguel Cabrera can be had in a trade, and will cost at least ‘three significant young players.’
Earlier today on WFAN in New York, talk-show host Mike Francesa, who speaks regularly, off air, with Omar Minaya, had the following to say about Cabrera…
“I know the Mets love him. I know Omar is in love with him. But, again, it’s gonna be hard for the Mets to put together a package…Plus, the Mets need pitching, and the Mets don’t have any pitching to give up…I think Cabrera will be on the Yankees, the Mets or Red Sox. I think he’ll be a north-eastern player, this year, on one of those teams…
“The only reason I say the Mets is because I know how much he loves him, I’ve had these conversations with him. Omar is in love with this guy. Again, he doesn’t want him for third base, he wants him in right field…He’s in love with him. We’ve had conversations many times about this kid, and he loves him. He’s in love with him.”
…so, wait, i just wanna be clear, mike, you’re saying he’s in love with him…i just want to be sure i heard that correctly…
