"Tampa Bay Rays Extend Contracts for Neander and Cash"
Tampa Bay Rays extend the contracts of baseball operations president Erik Neander and manager Kevin Cash, with the deals set to carry into and beyond the team’s planned 2028 move into a new St. Petersburg stadium. Neander, who has been with the Rays since 2007, has been instrumental in roster building and rebuilding efforts, while Cash, hired in 2015, has led the team to five consecutive playoff berths and a trip to the 2020 World Series. The terms of the new deals were not immediately available, and team officials plan to discuss the extensions at a scheduled media conference to open spring training.
