SAN DIEGO — San Diego manager Mike Shildt and the Padres agreed to a two-year contract extension through the 2027 season, the team announced Wednesday.
Shildt was hired in November 2023 and given a two-year deal.
San Diego went 93-69 this season, finishing second in the NL West, five games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Padres swept Atlanta 2-0 in the Wild Card Series, then lost a five-game Division Series to the Dodgers after taking a 2-1 lead.
“As Mike demonstrated this year, he has an unwavering commitment to winning and a unique set of skills that got our group to perform at a high level,” general manager A.J. Preller said in a statement.
Shildt managed St. Louis from 2019-21 and led the Cardinals into the playoffs in all three seasons.
