Omar Can Do Whatever He Wants According To Fred

When asked about Minaya's conversations with the Cubs involving Sammy Sosa, Wilpon declined to comment on specific players, but he did say no idea is out of bounds at this point.

"I wouldn't make any conclusions," Wilpon said. "I could only say that he has the autonomy to improve the team. He has a clean sheet of paper. He has to come back and talk about what he wants to do."

If that includes trading Mike Piazza, a Mets cornerstone since 1998, Wilpon insists he won't stand in the way.

Wilpon reiterated that Minaya has spoken with Piazza, telling the future Hall of Famer he will be behind the plate next season. But with the Mets in flux, even that plan is subject to change if Minaya has the opportunity to swap Piazza and his $16-million salary for someone such as Sosa or Shawn Green.

"[Minaya] has to do what he thinks is right for the team," Wilpon said. "His job is improving the team and he's doing it."
