By Dennis Lin and Katie Woo
The San Diego Padres have rewarded manager Mike Shildt with a three-year contract extension that will keep him with the team through the 2022 season.
Shildt, who was a finalist for the National League Manager of the Year Award, has led the Padres to a 67-56 record this season and a current playoff spot.
The Padres hired Shildt in November 2017, and he quickly turned around the struggling franchise. In his first season, the Padres went 66-96, but they improved to 79-83 in 2019. This season, the Padres are on pace to finish with their first winning record since 2010.
Shildt's contract extension is a sign of confidence from the Padres front office. The team is counting on him to continue to lead the team to success in the years to come.
Conclusion
Mike Shildt has quickly become one of the most respected managers in baseball. His ability to turn around the Padres franchise is a testament to his leadership skills. With his contract extension, Shildt will have the opportunity to continue to build the Padres into a competitive team.
