By the time Kevin Cash pulled Rays left-hander Blake Snell from the last game of the World Series, he had already been voted American League Manager of the Year.
Even if he ended up losing the biggest prize.
It was a Sunshine State sweep for skippers Tuesday, with the Marlins’ Don Mattingly joining Cash by winning National League Manager of the Year. Former White Sox manager Rick Renteria — who was the only finalist in either league not to appear on MLB Network’s awards show — finished second in the AL, and Cubs manager David Ross wound up third in the NL.
