The San Diego Padres have announced the retirement of manager Mike Shildt, who has been the team’s skipper for two seasons and coach for the two seasons before that.

“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,” A.J. Preller, the Padres’ president of baseball operations and general manager said Monday.

“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.

“The search for a new manager of the Padres will begin immediately with the goal of winning a World Series championship in 2026.”
