"Despite the early exit, the club is not looking to make major leadership changes on the field or in the front office. Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune reported that both manager Mike Shildt and president of baseball operations A.J. Preller are expected to maintain their roles heading into the 2026 season. Shildt has two years remaining on his contract after signing an extension last offseason."
"The Padres have reached the playoffs in both seasons under Shildt. They beat the Braves in the Wild Card round last year before falling to the Dodgers in the NLDS. San Diego had earned a postseason berth just twice in the 21st century heading into the shortened 2020 season. They've now done it in four of the past six seasons."
Mike Shildt and A.J. Preller are expected to maintain their roles with the San Diego Padres heading into the 2026 season. Shildt has two years remaining on his contract after signing an extension last offseason, while Preller is entering the final year of his deal and is widely expected to receive an extension soon. The Padres reached the playoffs in both seasons under Shildt, winning a Wild Card round last year before losing in the NLDS, and have made the postseason four times in the past six seasons. Preller has been with the organization since 2014 and was elevated to president of baseball operations ahead of the 2021 season. Shildt joined San Diego in 2024 after previously managing the Cardinals and has accumulated 183 wins with the team.
