Mike Shildt Reiterates Padres Exit Was His Decision

“I'm just tired and want to go home,” Shildt said, citing stress, poor sleep and health scares as reasons to retire with two years left and no severance beyond this month. He denied rifts with A.J. Preller, yet uncertainty over his authority persists. He boasts 183-141 record with two postseasons. Expected candidates include Ryan Flaherty, Ruben Niebla, and Brian Esposito.
