Mike Shildt, who retired as Padres manager last month, is joining the Orioles as an upper level coordinator of instruction.

This will keep Shildt much closer to his home in North Carolina than managing the Padres did. Shildt spent 13 years working in the minors with the Cardinals before joining their major league staff in 2017 and becoming their manager midway through the 2018 season. He was 435-340 in six seasons managing the Cardinals (2018-21) and Padres (2024-25).
