I hope Minaya loses his job over that press conference today. What he said in his comments about Adam Rubin and suggesting that he broke the story because he wanted the guy's job with the Mets is just embarrassing.
Even if it's true that Rubin was lobbying for a job with the Mets even as he was covering the team, revealing that, especially in a situation where it comes off as an accusation of why the story was even broken, is uncalled-for. How can anyone in the media trust what he has to say anymore?
That sounds like a severely dysfunctional organization, even without the struggles at the major-league level.
