Jocketty out; LaRussa next?

Jocketty out after 13 years as Cards’ GM (ESPN.com)

St. Louis won six NL Central titles, one wild card and two NL pennants under Jocketty. After failing to spend much on free agents last winter, the Cardinals faded to a 78-84 record this year and a third-place finish behind Chicago and Milwaukee.

Injuries to key players didn’t help either.
