Brewers Video
The incestuous nature of the National League Central continues. Bob Nightengale of USA Today has reported the Brewers are interested in Padres third base coach and former Cardinal skipper, Mike Shildt.
Shildt has spent the past few years in the Padres organization as a player development assistant and as a part-time third base coach, filling in for Matt Williams in that role. Brewers fan will be far more familiar with Shildt from his time as the Cardinals manager, filling in after the departure of Mike Matheny in 2018. He managed the Cards until he was fired following the 2021 season over "philosophical differences". Given the recent turmoil in the Cardinals front office and coaching, this may not be a black mark on Shildt.
The Padres are also considering Shildt for their manager role and given that he is currently in the San Diego organization, they will have first negotiating rights with him.
