I don’t have a problem with Mendoza. Wasn’t his fault. I think Shildt is leaving before his contract is up. You don’t see guys doing that too often. That probably means he won’t resurface elsewhere, depending on what his contract says. All the best to him.

When you walk out on your own you have dignity.

That is always better emotionally than being fired.

Mendoza deserves that dignity.

Oh I get it, this -- "I wonder how we can get Mendoza to feel the stress." -- was all about Mendoza's dignity.

Don't know how I missed that the first time around.

Mike Schildt out in San Diego.

Apparently via his own choice as he cited stress of the job which took a "severe toll" on him.
"It's time I take care of myself and exit on my own terms"

Good for him, he always seemed like a decent sort

Per Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the San Francisco Giants are closing in on hiring Tennessee coach Tony Vitello as their next manager. Jeff Passan of ESPN elaborated, saying the Giants are expected to make a final decision and announcement within the next 24 to 72 hours.

Vitello has no professional experience at any level. This would be a first.

The Nationals are reportedly hiring Blake Butera as their manager.

The move isn't official yet, but this would be the 33 year old Blake Butera.

Assuming this comes off it would make Butera the youngest ML manager since Frank Quilici was a slightly younger version of 33 when he replaced Bill Rigney as manager of the Twins 71 games into the 1972 season and less than two years after his five year career as a Twins utility player ended. He'd manage them through 1975.

Meanwhile, the present day Twins are being environment conscious by recycling Derek Shelton into their manager's chair.

Shelton had managed the Pirates since 2020 but didn't make it as far as Mother's Day in 2025. But it's good to see him get right back on the horse.

The Braves struck a deal to hire Walt Weiss as their next manager on Monday afternoon, the team announced. Weiss, who has been the team's bench coach since 2018, will replace Brian Snitker as their manager.

With an outside-the-box choice of former WAS/SDP reliever Craig Stammen being chosen as the Padres skipper, only the Orioles and Rockies remain skipper-less for 2026.

The 41 y/o Stammen, though a front office assistant with various titles in San Diego since his 2022 retirement from playing, is a surprise choice both because he has never managed at any level and because his last name isn't Pujols.
