Clues to pair’s connectedness show manager’s extension important step
There’s no doubt Padres manager Mike Shildt and president of baseball operations A.J. Preller are in lockstep, beyond theThe Zoom call with media Wednesday that announced the deal felt bro-huggy to the point of wondering if a tailgate bash was about to bust out.
Shildt said he was “miffed” that Preller was not named the MLB Executive of the Year, an honor that went to Brewers GM Matt Arnold. The big leagues are the ultimate on-to-the-next endeavor with so many chess pieces on the move during a season longer than any other. The manager with a new and lengthened leash revealed more breadcrumbs of clubhouse contentment. When Shildt ran into Fernando Tatis Jr. and shelved pitcher Joe Musgrove before the Zoom call, he said they offered hugs.“This is a group that feels good about what we just accomplished,” Shildt said. “We covered a lot of ground, but is very much hungry for more.”
