Cash played eight seasons in the majors as a backup catcher with five different teams. He retired after the 2011 season and joined his former manager Terry Francona in Cleveland in 2012 as the bullpen coach.
Along with Raul Ibanez and Don Wakamatsu, Cash was one of three finalists for the Rays job.
