My Take
Minaya fascinates me as the kind of baseball figure who shaped the game from the front office rather than the batter's box. Born in the Dominican Republic and raised in New York, he rose to general manager roles with the Expos and Mets before settling in as a special assistant with the Yankees. What I admire most is the scout's eye behind the executive title, a knack for spotting Latin American talent before the crowd noticed. He reminds me that some of baseball's most consequential careers are built quietly, in negotiations and signings, far from the highlight reels the public usually celebrates.
