Cash and Snell
Tampa Bay Rays coach Kevin Cash and ace Blake Snell were announced as a finalists for a pair of awards last night. Kevin Cash joined Bob Melvin and Alex Cora as finalists for the Manager of the Year award. Blake Snell joined Justin Verlander and Corey Kluber as finalists for the Cy Young award.
Blake Snell is arguably the favorite to win the Cy Young and he would be a sure-fire bet to win the award if only he had thrown more than 180.2 innings pitched. Justin Verlander is expected to give the Rays ace the biggest run for his money as voters decide who to name the 2018 Cy Young.
