LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Kevin Cash hit leadoff Monday when he became the first of the 30 Major League managers to meet with the media at Major League Baseball's Winter Meetings.
Among the subjects addressed by Cash were the composition of next year's bullpen and how the Rays intend to use their 'pen and pitching staff.
Tampa Bay had a strong bullpen in 2017, but Tommy Hunter, Steve Cishek and Sergio Romo became free agents. The Rays traded Brad Boxberger to the D-backs earlier in the offseason, and there's speculation closer Alex Colome will be dealt, with the Cardinals and Rockies at the forefront.
