Rachel Minaya, the spouse of former New York Mets general manager and current New York Yankees executive Omar Minaya, was discovered deceased at the couple's residence in New Jersey on Saturday, July 20, as reported by a source informed by the family, according to the New York Post.
She was 55 years old.
Omar Minaya was not home at the time of his wife’s death, according to the news report.
It was confirmed that suicide was not the cause of death, and Omar was not at home when Rachel's body was found.
The Minayas, who first met at a Manhattan hair salon in 1989, have two grown sons, Justin, a professional basketball player who recently participated in the Las Vegas Summer League with the Portland Trail Blazers, and Teddy.
Prior to the 2023 MLB season, Omar Minaya joined the Yankees as a senior adviser to general manager Brian Cashman. The Dominican-born executive previously served as the Mets' general manager from 2004 to 2010, overseeing significant signings like All-Star outfielder Carlos Beltrán and future Hall of Fame pitcher Pedro Martínez. He later returned to the Mets as a special assistant under various leaderships from 2017 to 2020.
Minaya also held the position of general manager for the Montreal Expos before their relocation and transformation into the Washington Nationals. Additionally, he worked as the vice president for the San Diego Padres and as a scout for the Texas Rangers.
