Kevin Cash, born in Tampa in 1977, has established himself as one of baseball's most innovative and successful managers with the Tampa Bay Rays. Before becoming a manager, Cash played eight MLB seasons as a catcher with five different teams, including the Blue Jays, Devil Rays, Red Sox, Yankees, and Astros. After retiring as a player in 2012, he worked as an advance scout for Toronto before becoming Cleveland's bullpen coach under Terry Francona. In 2015, Cash returned to his hometown when the Rays hired him as manager. His tenure has been marked by innovation, including pioneering the "opener" strategy, and consistent success despite budget constraints. Cash won back-to-back AL Manager of the Year awards in 2020 and 2021, becoming the first AL manager to do so consecutively. He led the Rays to five straight playoff appearances from 2019-2023, including a World Series appearance in 2020. In 2024, Cash became the winningest manager in Rays history, surpassing Joe Maddon with his 755th victory.
