Looks like it took a major toll on his health. Bummer.
š¶Baby come back!
This is such a shock to my system
It’s gonna take me a while to process this too
I also wish Mike the best and hope his health improves in retirement
Heās gonna pull a Francona and be back with another team after a short break
He had his stumbles, but he stuck with these guys. He never wanted to blame others. He loved the team and he was always trying to win no matter what. Shildt was a great coach
Wow! That came outta no where. Back to back 90 win seasons and a very good roster coming back next season. Wish him the best and hope he enjoys retirement. 34 years of any profession is a lot, let alone high pressure of MLB Manager role. Hope the Padres fans take the high road here.
Shidty’s managerial style is intense, and I noticed that it wore on the players over time. I didn’t think about how it must be for Shildt.
Really bummed to hear this. I am glad however, that he made the decision now in order to give the organization plenty of time to find our next skipper.
Bummed to learn about the toll it took on him. I respect and appreciate his service to the club. Even if it was too short.
Iām really glad Shildt is content with the decision. This is probably the best you could ask for in terms of an end for everyone. Short of winning a WS ofc
Wish him all the best in his retirement.
Thank you, Shildty! š«”
Oh, wow! I definitely did not expect that this morning. One thing about Shildt that I’ve always respected is that he seems to deeply care about his guys, and that really comes through in this message. But that can be really personally exhausting, too. Good on him for realizing when he needed to stop. Retiring at 57 sounds amazing.
Just fell to my knees in Trader Joeās
This is my 9/11.
The whole teamās future is up in the air with Peter Seidlerās death and the family arguing over who now has the rights to the Padres.
I sure hope he (Schildt) is legitimately choosing to retire and not deciding this because the teamās immediate future is totally in question.
This is the greatest run the Padres have ever had. Weāve only ever had nine postseason appearances in Padres franchise history, and four of them have been in the last five years during THIS modern Padre era. I sure hope ownership doesnāt allow this opportunity for a championship to get away.
Bring Bochy back!
WOW did not see that coming at all
I think this was fully on his terms. Makes no sense from a FO perspective to fire Shildt sfter delivering back to back 90 win seasons, and bringing the city of San Diego back to life with winning baseball.
Really really sucks to see. I had my differences with him but overall he was a great manager. It’s gonna be a long offseason so hoping for the best as always.
Daaang. Did not expect this.
We need a young, relatable manager nowā¦fuck the old guys! We need energy! We need to call up someone from college baseball that can light a fucking fire!
“The players conduct themselves with class”
I hope youāre fucking happy Kevin Acee
Wow, such a shock. I truly hope this is true and it was on his own terms, not scared off by management. Good dude and what a turnaround in culture that he oversaw the past couple years. Both teams were legitimately on the cusp.
For the replacement, I really hope Nie LA is at the top of the list to fleet up and replace him. Love how his mind works and the players seem to love him.
i feel this. good luck skipper
It may just be weird wording but āretiring from managing the Padresā raises my spidey senses that something is off
just sounds like he was burnt out to the point of not enjoying it anymore, and worse, impacting his health. If that’s the case he’s making the right decision.
Iām sad he did not get to fight Dave Roberts. Is that selfish of me?
Gonna miss him dearly next spring
Welp, new goal for next season: run into Mike in the wild and buy him a beer
Do yall think he was forced to retire than being fired??
Class act!!!
I didnāt see this coming but I wish him the best. I canāt imagine what they go throughā¦ all those hours and days!
Bruce “cough” Bochy āļø
Thanks So much Shildty !!!
Really hope Shildt finds peace off the diamond! Loved his demeanor and acumen as the skipper, enjoyed his time at the wheel as a fan.
Honestly, it is troubling in general to me our last 2 managers looked like they just had a nervous breakdown to end the season. I think that AJ clearly needs to make manager communication and support a higher priority, and our locker room leaders should soul search as well.
Part of me canāt help but think AJ found a way to give Shildt a soft exit based off questionable decisions down the stretch. Iād prob take even odds Shildt will be in a new uniform by March 2027
