Omar Minaya is in a fight for his job and he plans to go down swinging. According to sources close to the Mets GM, Omar has been in talks with the Pittsburgh Steelers and the agent for Ben Roethlisberger with hopes of working out a trade that would land the embattled Steeler in Flushing. Minaya does not seemed troubled by the fact that Big Ben has never played baseball.
"This guy can beat you in so many different ways.", said Minaya. "When an athlete of his caliber becomes available you don't get caught up in the little details. We can find a place to play him. I think we have shown in the past that position is overrated. With a little work and patience we can make anyone play out of position."
At first glance it would seem that there is nothing the Mets could offer the Steelers to make a deal work but one member of the Pittsburgh front office doesn't necessarily believe that is the case.
"In a situation like this, you don't want to rule anything out to quickly.", said Steelers GM Kevin Colbert. "We may end up with a situation where we could pick up a valuable coach in the deal."
Colbert went on to express interest in bringing in Mets hitting coach Howard Johnson to work with the Steelers running backs at avoiding contact.
Only time will tell us how this will all unfold. However, while the deal still seems like a long shot, McFaddens at Citi Field is taking no chances. This morning the restaurant announced they will be closing their bathrooms indefinitely.

Lol, gosh, I love these posts.
ReplyDeleteThanks Eli. More to come. Hopefully they win tonight because tomorrows post is completely reliant on them finishing the Cubbies. I was feeling strangely confident.
