"We're going to try as hard as we can to get something done via traditional methods but in the event that it doesn't work out, we are exploring alternative methods of acquiring talent.", Minaya told The Apple. While the farm system would be the logical assumption, Minaya insists he has found something more radical. "I was watching this documentary about this kid and his time traveling car. He went back to 1955 and almost destroyed himself but I think the potential is there. If we can get this guy on our side, imagine the players we can bring back. This guy could beat you in so many ways. If we don't act quickly another team or possibly the Libyans are going to get to him first."
Minaya is not oblivious to the difficulties presented by time travel.
"We'd have to change these guys names for starters. People might get suspicious if we put Jackie Robinson at second but if we call up Jackie Sanchez from the minors no one will bat an eyelash. There is the small possibility that we could destroy the universe but this is New York and the fans expect you to do everything you can to win."
Minaya has clearly thought of everything.
