ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Rays baseball operations president Erik Neander and manager Kevin Cash talked a lot about balance during Tuesday’s season wrap-up media session.
Most generally, in their pride of making the postseason for a fourth straight season versus the disappointment of being eliminated in their first round.
“If this season happened in 2018, 2019, there’s a different feeling than it being our fourth consecutive trip and our earliest exit of the four,” Neander said. “We’re really proud of that winning culture, the expectations that come with that. Our expectations are higher than the season that just concluded here.”
