Before the New York Yankees took on the Tampa Bay Rays, a moment of silence was held for Rachel Minaya, the wife of senior adviser of baseball operations Omar Minaya, who was reportedly found dead at their home in New Jersey on Saturday. The Yankee Stadium videoboard had a picture of Rachel Minaya, which the Yankees posted on social media. Omar Minaya was not home at the time of death. Omar Minaya has been in baseball for decades, first starting as a scout for the Texas Rangers. He later joined the New York Mets as assistant general manager to then-GM Steve Phillips in the 1990s.
