The Cardinals have reportedly named Mike Shildt as manager and will drop "interim" from his title, according to USA Today's Bob Nightengale.
St. Louis will reportedly sign Shildt to a new three-year deal, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Shildt, 50, was named the Cardinals' interim manager on July 14, when the team announced the firing of then-manager Mike Matheny.
At the time of Matheny's firing, the Cardinals were 47-46 and sat in third place in the NL Central. The team was on pace to miss the playoffs for a third straight season for the first time since 1997-99.
