Mike Shildt is officially out as manager of the San Diego Padres. After two seasons at the helm, the 57-year-old is set to retire from this position, which immediately opens up a hole in the team's roster.
Options are aplenty for the Padres, but interesingly enough, there are three former Padres managers currently available on the market. Would the Friars be crazy to consider a reunion with any of them?
Bud Black, Bruce Bochy, Bob Melvin all remain available as next potential Padres manager
Bud Black (2007-15)
Most recently with the Colorado Rockies, Black was dismissed as the team's manager this past May after the team fell to the Padres, 21-0.
