Mike Shildt Announces Retirement as San Diego Padres Manager

“With a heavy heart, I’m retiring,” Shildt wrote, citing the grind’s mental, physical and emotional toll. Promoted in 2024, he led San Diego to 93-69 and 90-72 seasons and back-to-back postseasons, falling to the Dodgers in the 2024 NLDS and Cubs in 2025’s Wild Card. He thanked ownership, praised players, and said it’s time to take care of himself.
