SAN DIEGO (KGTV) \u2013 Mike Shildt, who managed the San Diego Padres to two consecutive 90-win seasons and two postseason appearances, announced his retirement in a letter to the San Diego Union-Tribune<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Shildt, 57, began his Padres tenure in 2024 and led the team to the National League Division Series. He followed up with another successful season in 2025, guiding the Padres to a NL Wild Card Series berth.<\/p>\n

In his five-and-a-half seasons as a Major League Baseball manager (three-and-a-half seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals), Shildt won 435 games; his teams made the playoffs in his five full seasons as skipper.<\/p>\n

In his letter to the U-T<\/a>, Shildt said his decision to retire was based on the \u201csevere toll\u201d baseball has taken on him \u201cmentally, physically and emotionally.\u201d<\/p>\n

Padres President of Baseball Operations\/General Manager AJ Preller said, “We would like to congratulate Mike on a successful career and thank him for his significant contributions to the Padres and the San Diego community over the last four years, including consecutive 90-win seasons and two postseason appearances as manager.<\/p>\n

His dedication and passion for the game of baseball will leave an impact on our organization, and we wish him the best in his next chapter.<\/p>\n

The search for a new manager of the Padres will begin immediately with the goal of winning a World Series championship in 2026.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAN DIEGO (KGTV) \u2013 Mike Shildt, who managed the San Diego Padres to two consecutive 90-win seasons and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1807,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[2607,2608,2609,2610,74,76,75,2611],"class_list":["post-1806","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-diego","tag-aj-preller","tag-mike-shildt","tag-mike-shildt-retires","tag-padres-manager","tag-san-diego","tag-san-diego-headlines","tag-san-diego-news","tag-san-diego-padres"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1806","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1806"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1806\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1807"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1806"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1806"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1806"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
