All the press releases I am seeing are all saying that Shildt retired. Will you please provide us with a link to the story of him being “fired”?

Lmao so you are saying he's willing to cite his health when he's actually fine and still wants to manage? Pretty dumb way to get a new manager job.

So, you don't have a link to post about Shildt being fired? Your post title is just a personal guess? Based upon what data, Rex? Please share the back story from which you draw this conclusion.

when you here terms like 'mutual' and 'buy out' you can be sure management was just letting him avoid embarrassment or ... maybe bubbles just couldn't handle the pressure - he is the oldest looking 57 y.o. I've ever seen

I never saw the word “mutual” in any of the releases.
I never saw the words “buy out” in any of the releases either.
You’re making things up just to get attention, which is sad.
But here you go….here is some attention, I hope it was worth it.

You look foolish.

Reading between the lines, it seems he had a recent, serious conversation with his doctor.

Or not.

Hey Mo! I thought you retired. Looks like your still grinding your axe against anyone with the balls to stand up to you. Get the story straight.

Shildt didn't get fired. Probably needed a break from Machado and Tatis. Hopefully everything is ok with Mike and his family.

“One of the reasons I am going to leave is a frustration with the stress and the inability to please everybody,” Shildt said. “… I made a decision to go home because of this. I’m tired of dealing with it.”

Shildt was responding to the Union-Tribune on Tuesday regarding questions about his management style based on the complaints of a number of people who worked with him the past two years.

Nearly 20 sources — 12 of them who worked with Shildt on a daily basis during the season — have in recent months characterized Shildt as unyieldingly demanding of his coaching staff and the team’s support staff and as having a tendency to micromanage and possessing a quick temper that is easily triggered by questioning or feedback.

.....

The issues that surfaced in San Diego were virtually identical to the issues that several league sources said led to Shildt’s abrupt dismissal in St. Louis following a 90-win season in 2021 and three playoff appearances in three seasons.

Shildt acknowledged Tuesday that the things he was hearing were “eerily similar in the two places I’ve managed.”

The Cardinals have only ever said publicly that Shildt was fired due to “philosophical differences.” A half-dozen sources, including current and former members of the Cardinals organization and two people who were part of front offices that considered interviewing Shildt in the month after he was fired, said some Cardinals coaches and others threatened to quit if Shildt remained.

That did not occur in San Diego, though multiple coaches indicated they would leave if they found opportunities elsewhere.

.....

Throughout this season, people in the organization said, tensions rose as Shildt became more demanding and seemingly entrenched in his beliefs about how the team should be run.

As the Padres continued to win, sources said, those below and above Shildt were reluctant to push for his ouster or even complain too vociferously. However, it remained a persistent topic among many of them even as they also sought to remain focused on their jobs.

Some coaches also resigned themselves to simply surviving because there is not an abundance of major league opportunities. Multiple coaches said they wanted to win and felt the Padres afforded that chance and they wanted to be part of the realization of a goal. They also said their love for the players kept them around.

The Padres enlisted people internally to work with Shildt regarding his penchant to snap at colleagues and even superiors who he perceived were questioning him, according to multiple sources. The plan for the offseason was for there to be more discussions and work done regarding his interactions with staff and media.

.....

Many in the organization spoke over the past several months of repeated angry outbursts and what were painted as unproductive and destructive communication tactics. Shildt often made employees feel silly for suggestions or what they deemed helpful information, but he then would sometimes complain that they had not prepared him for situations.

Some veteran coaches lamented that the coaches lower on the totem pole bore the brunt of Shildt’s vexation.
