Kevin Cash, manager of the AL champion Tampa Bay Rays, has won AL Manager of the Year while Miami Marlins manager Don Mattingly has been named NL Manager of the Year.
Cash guided the Rays to an AL best 40-20 record and team's first AL pennant since 2008. However, this award is small consolation to falling short to the Dodgers in the World Series. Unfortunately, Cash will be best remembered for prematurely lifting Nate Snell in Game 6. Meanwhile, Mattingly led the Marlins to their first post-season appearance since 2003 despite being plagued by a COVID-19 outbreak. Both managers richly deserved their honors.
Tomorrow the BBWAA announces the winners of the AL and NL Cy Young Awards.
