ST. PETERSBURG -- Kevin Cash's first season as a Major League manager is over, and he offered the bottom line as far as the Rays' season went.
"Ultimately we didn't get where we wanted to get," he said.
In other words, the Rays are not going to be participating in the playoffs.
"We want to be playing postseason baseball for this year and upcoming years," Cash said. "I think we're all aware, so we're not there."
Cash and Rays president of baseball operations Matt Silverman spoke at a news conference on Tuesday.
Cash's mea culpa was to be expected.
