BREAKING — Mike Shildt stepping away felt sudden, emotional, and final. Now, weeks later, he’s ready to jump into a new role with the Orioles? C’mon. That’s not retirement — that’s an escape hatch from a sinking front office. With all the turbulence in Padres ownership, you can’t blame him… but at least call it what it is. San Diego keeps getting hit with departures that look way too “coincidental” to ignore. The league is watching, and fans are left trying to make sense of the same pattern happening over and over. #sandiegopadres #sandiego #baltimoreorioles
