After Bob Melvin left the Padres for the Giants, the team promoted former St. Louis Cardinals manager Mike Shildt, who had been a player development coach with the team since 2022. In his four years in St. Louis he went 252-199, making the playoffs three times.
Shildt has already managed two games with the Padres, with the team starting the season early in Korea against the Los Angeles Dodgers. They split that series, losing 5-2 on their Opening Day before coming back with a 15-11 win in a shootout the next day.
