Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:17:35 GMT

ST. LOUIS - As the last-place St. Louis Cardinals fall further behind in the National League standings, one of the biggest mysteries not too far removed from this season is what happened to Mike Shildt? Around lunchtime Tuesday, Cardinals Twitter brewed up some takes on the season and Shildt ended up trending. Shildt is currently serving as a third base coach for the San Diego Padres. He hopes to manage at the MLB level again soon, but his path leading up to it is quite unusual. A longtime scout, minor league manager and assistant coach in the Cardinals organization, Shildt took over as manager of the big-league squad in July 2018 when the team parted ways with Mike Matheny. He then managed St. Louis to the postseason in each of his first three full seasons. RELATED - Cardinals dead last in NL again, a spot they haven’t finished in a century-plus Shildt earned NL Manager of the Year honors in 2019 and fared 252-199 (.559 winning percentage) over parts of four seasons. In 2021, Shi...
