Shildt lacks obvious connections to Preller, but sometimes that kind of stuff is overstated. Louis Cardinals despite a third consecutive trip to the postseason. The 53-year-old Shildt is a recent addition to the candidate pool, having been canned by the St. (It doesn't hurt that he's the kind of flashy name that Preller might pursue to appease ownership.) Bochy has all the leverage in any potential negotiations, so he's unlikely to come cheap, if he comes at all. It's worth noting that Bochy managed the Padres from 1995-2006, a stretch that saw him finish with a 49.4 winning percentage and a pennant. If Tony La Russa can come back for One More Job, then why can't Boch? In all seriousness, he's a future Hall of Famer thanks to a run with the San Francisco Giants that saw him win three World Series titles. A couple of factors that could work against the 69-year-old Washington include his age (though Tony La Russa and Dusty Baker are both older) his unusual departure from the Rangers and his reputation for being subpar tactically.īochy, 66 years old, technically retired after the 2019 season. He checks a lot of relevant boxes: he has managerial experience - eight seasons' worth, with a career 52.1 winning percentage and two World Series appearances he has a connection to Preller from their shared time with the Texas Rangers and he even interviewed for the Padres job the last time it was available. Washington, 69 years old, is currently coaching third base ( aggressively and successfully) and teaching infield for the Atlanta Braves. (Do note that the individuals are listed in order of their perceived likelihood.) 1. Allow us to litter the internet with our own guess at five names who could surface in connection to the gig. With that in mind, it's fair to write that any list of potential candidates is, like psychic readings in New Jersey, for entertainment purposes only. Preller has already violated that rule of thumb before, hiring the 40-year-old Tingler after previously dismissing Andy Green. In this case, that would mean the Padres go with a veteran skipper - perhaps even one with championship experience. Conventional wisdom has it that teams tend to gravitate toward the opposite of their last manager. So, who might become the next Padres manager? It's hard to say.

Nevertheless, the Padres decided he was no longer the right individual to lead them.

It wasn't all Tingler's fault, of course the Padres suffered from myriad injuries, especially on the pitching side, and their underlying measures suggested they should have won more games than they did. Nearly two weeks have passed since the San Diego Padres fired manager Jayce Tingler following a disappointing 2021 season.
