The San Diego Padres are set to extend manager Mike Shildt's contract for two more years, which will keep him with the team through 2027. Shildt expressed gratitude for the support from ownership and General Manager A.J. Preller following the team's elimination from the postseason.
In his inaugural season, Shildt led the Padres to a 93-69 record, highlighted by a strong second half. Despite some player injuries and free agency concerns, the core of the team is expected to remain intact for the upcoming season.
