Padres’ Mike Shildt has ‘no desire’ to return to managing soon, but ‘never say never’

Mike Shildt, who recently led the San Diego Padres to their first consecutive 90-win seasons and back-to-back playoff appearances since 2005-06, has announced his retirement. With a solid record of 183-141 over two years with the Padres and a career total of 252-199, Shildt has expressed that he has no immediate plans to return to managing, although he remains open to the possibility in the future. This news is significant as it marks the end of a successful chapter for both Shildt and the Padres, who have seen a resurgence under his leadership.
