Rachel Minaya, the wife of former Mets general manager and current Yankees executive Omar Minaya, was found dead in her New Jersey home on Saturday, according to a person briefed by the family.
Omar Minaya was not at home when his wife died.
A person briefed by the family said suicide has been ruled out as a cause of death.
Omar Minaya joined the Yankees as a senior advisor to general manager Brian Cashman in early 2023 after serving as general manager of the Mets from 2004-2010 and special assistant to multiple general managers in Queens from 2017-2020.
The 65-year-old was general manager of the Montreal Expos before the franchise moved to Washington and became the Nationals, and also worked as a scout for the Texas Rangers.
The Minayas have two adult sons, Justin and Teddy.
Justin is a forward for the Portland Trail Blazers and is playing for the team’s summer league team in Las Vegas this month.
