*“The Mets will add some players when rosters expand on Saturday, but no decisions have been made on who will join the club.

“I’ve talked to my staff a little bit about it,” general manager Omar Minaya said. “I haven’t talked to Willie about it. Sometime this week, I’ll talk to Willie.”*

So rosters expand in less than a week and Omar has yet to talk to Willie about it, though he’s had internal discussions with his staff. I’m sure sometime this week Omar will consult with Willie. But the decision is his alone.

I saw an interview done with Willie before the trade deadline this year. He was asked what help his club could use. He said he leaves that up to Omar and the front office.
