Mike Matheny won the NL Manager of the Year- well deserved for his skillful leadership this season. Luis Estrada won a Silver Slugger in right field.
AL MVP: Chad Workman, CWS (.341/43/107, 9.8)
NL MVP: Juan Fontes, CHC (.296/59/131, 6.9)
AL Cy Young: Juan Camacho, CLE (14-9, 2.43, 5.5)
NL Cy Young: Tyrese Cooperwood, PHI (16-8, 3.13, 6.1)
This was Workman's fourth MVP, and Cooperwood's third straight Cy Young.
Having accomplished his goal of winning a championship for Montreal, Carter Dawson Raines unexpectedly stepped down as the team's general manager. His longtime assistant Jim Steele will move into that role. Kevin Poindexter and Dave Hansen, longtime scouting director and hitting coach, both retired after the season as well.
I'll follow the Expos under Steele's leadership at least for a little while. This offseason, Jose Altuve, Luis Estrada and Jordan Anderson all reach free agency, so it'll be a bit of a crossroads for the new GM.
