Aftermath
Owner William DeWitt, Jr. fired Walt Jocketty, General Manager for the Cardinals since 1995, on October 3. Assistant GM John Mozeliak replaced Jocketty in an interim capacity before being named the new GM on October 31, 2007.
On October 22, Manager Tony La Russa, after considering moving elsewhere when his contract expired, signed a new two-year deal guaranteeing his record 13th and 14th seasons as Cardinal manager, the longest tenure in franchise history.
No Cardinal won a Gold Glove. Perhaps the most surprising denial was to catcher Yadier Molina, who was denied the award despite his .991 fielding percentage. Both Molina and Albert Pujols previously (November 1) won the prestigious Fielding Bible Award, which is given to only one person at each position in the major leagues.
