Jeff Wilpon talked to reporters from the dugout in Citi Field today and said he put a call in to Adam Rubin of the Daily News to extend an apology .

He also said Omar Minaya is’ remorseful and upset,’ about the way things were handled, noting this has taken a toll on him in a very big way.

Wilpon said Minaya feels badly for the way the organization has been portrayed, and he apologized to ownership.

“Omar made a mistake,” Wilpon said.  “He admitted he made a mistake and is apologetic for his mistake.  It definitely went against all our company values… Omar is our GM.  He’s going to be our GM… He has not been reprimanded… It hurt the organization.  He has admitted that.  He didn’t do the right thing… All I can do is apologize for that.”
