Padres Extend Manager Mike Shildt's Contract Through 2027

The San Diego Padres have rewarded Mike Shildt with a two-year extension following a successful playoff run in his first season.

Mike Shildt led the Padres to a 93-69 record, securing the top National League wild card spot.
The team swept the Atlanta Braves in the wild-card series but lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the Division Series.
Shildt's extension reflects an 11-win improvement over the previous season under former manager Bob Melvin.
The Padres tied for the best batting average in the majors and ranked sixth in strikeouts during the 2024 season.
Shildt, previously with the St. Louis Cardinals, has consistently led teams to the playoffs, earning NL Manager of the Year in 2019.
