I remember when A-Rod was first hitting free agency in 2007, some Mets fans were calling for the Mets to sign A-Rod and move Reyes to 2B thank fuck Omat wasn't THAT stupid.
I'm sure Omar at least made a call to Alex or his agent. Omar was signing every latino that hit the free agent market.
If he signed Miguel Cairo and Endy Chavez, I'm sure he tried to get A-Rod.
