BOSTON -- As Hurricane Irma bears down on their home state of Florida, the Tampa Bay Rays will attempt to focus on playing baseball in Boston.
It won't be easy.
Rays manager Kevin Cash said as much Friday, when he admitted to paying more attention to The Weather Channel than any advanced scouting information about the team's weekend series against the Boston Red Sox.
Cash knows there is a chance his players' minds will be elsewhere when the Rays faced the Red Sox in the finale of a three-game series Sunday at Fenway Park.
