Tampa, FL (SportsNetwork.com) - The Tampa Bay Rays have named Kevin Cash as their new manager. Cash spent parts of eight seasons as a catcher in the majors, retiring after the 2011 season. He joined the Toronto Blue Jays as an advance scout in 2012 and was the bullpen coach with the Cleveland Indians for the past two seasons. Kevin is passionate, genuine and dedicated, and those attributes will resonate throughout our clubhouse, said Rays president of baseball operations Matt Silverman in a statement Friday. As a catcher, a scout and a coach, he has always been a student of the game, and his communication and tireless work will put our club in a position to win, night in and night out. Cash, a Tampa native who will turn 37 years old on Saturday, will be the youngest active manager in the majors. He played 13 games for the Devil Rays in 2005 and will become the first former player to manage for the franchise. We are proud to introduce Kevin as our manager, said Rays principal owner Stuart Sternberg on Friday. His energy and dynamic personality will fit seamlessly with our clubhouse. We are fortunate to have such a talented individual, and Tampa Bay native, to lead our club as we strive to achieve new heights as a team and organization. The Rays interviewed nine candidates in an effort to find a replacement for Joe Maddon, who opted out of his contract in October soon after long-time executive Andrew Friedman left for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Maddon quickly found a new job with the Chicago Cubs. He had guided the Rays to a record of 754-705 with two division titles, four postseason berths and the 2008 World Series during his nine-year tenure. Cash also played for Toronto, Boston, the Yankees and Houston in a big league career that ended with a batting average of .183 and 12 home runs in 246 games. He played for World Series winning teams with Boston in 2007 and the Yankees in 2009. The other finalists for the position were longtime major league outfielder Raul Ibanez and former Mariners manager Don Wakamatsu. Mike Shawaryn Jersey .

Then again, with the Wolves riding a losing streak that has lasted for a full month now, thats not saying a whole lot.Daye scored a season-high 22 points and had 10 rebounds to help the Spurs hand the Timberwolves their 15th straight loss, 108-93 on Saturday night.Pop believes in all his players and you know hell throw you into weird situations at any time, said Daye, who has scored 35 of his 96 total points this season in two games against Minnesota. So you just got to be ready.Patty Mills scored 19 points and Tim Duncan added 13 points and six rebounds in 20 minutes for the Spurs (23-15), who were missing Manu Ginobili and Marco Belinelli with injuries.Gorgui Dieng had 18 points, 12 rebounds and four blocks for the Timberwolves (5-31), who were missing Shabazz Muhammad with an abdominal injury in addition to the long-term absences of Ricky Rubio, Nikola Pekovic and Kevin Martin. Minnesota hasnt won since Dec. 10 and is tied with New York for the longest active losing streak in the NBA.Andrew Wiggins finished with 18 points for the Wolves.

We just need to play harder to win games.Ginobili was out with back spasms and Belinelli had a groin injury. But playing a man or two down has never bothered them and they certainly werent going to worry about it against a young, defensively inept Timberwolves team.And the Spurs dont have time to take it easy on anyone. They entered the night seventh in the Western Conference and just havent really been able to get going yet after winning the franchises ffifth championship in June.ddddddddddddTheyve mostly traded wins and losses for the last month and havent won more than two in a row since an eight-game winning streak ended on Dec. 3.Thats not going to cut it out West, but the Spurs have been together long enough to know when they need to put their feet on the gas. They are awaiting the return of Kawhi Leonard, who hasnt played since Dec. 17 because of an injured right hand and Tony Parker is still getting up to speed while being bothered by a gimpy hamstring.Were disappointed were in the position we are, said Popovich, whose Spurs are in seventh in the West thanks to an 8-10 December. We lost some games we could have won. And we were just injured at the wrong time. December was a heck of a month for us schedule-wise, and being injured at that time was tough. So now we have to suck it up and try to catch up with some guys.They had more than enough against the undermanned Wolves, who are three losses away from tying the franchise record for longest losing skid.The Spurs closed the first quarter on a 15-4 run and never looked back, carving up Minnesotas woeful defence with cuts to the basket and curls around screens to generate wide open jumpers.Daye hit 4 of 8 3-pointers and Cory Joseph added 12 points and five assists off the bench.TIP-INSSpurs: The Spurs used their 21st starting lineup of the season.
