MLB is a small community. I don’t see Mike getting another manager position after striking out twice with the POBOsBasil Shabazz wrote: ↑13 Oct 2025 15:08 pmI believe this is probably the truth. He wouldn't walk away from $8m. But I think he would settle for 1/2 to 2/3 of that to be able to set the narrative in his favor.
He’s a good guy. A little quirky, but a good baseball man. Best wishes to him and his wife.

However, with the way his Cardinal tenure ended and now this, I wonder if there are aspects about him or his personality that we don't have the full details of from where we sit (and that's true for any of these personnel).
As has been expressed already in the thread, I hope the best for his health and hope that is not a reason.

I could be wrong,but I bet that even though he is retiring, there is some “buyout” that has been negotiated.rockondlouie wrote: ↑13 Oct 2025 12:24 pm Shildt reportedly makes $4M/yr.
With two years remining on his extension he's walking away from at least $8M.

Sounds like he wears out his welcome pretty quickly. Doubt we see him back in StL.Rojo Johnson wrote: ↑13 Oct 2025 17:44 pmHe’s a good guy. A little quirky, but a good baseball man.
