St. Louis Cardinals Extend Mike Shildt, John Mozeliak, Michael Girsch

On Tuesday afternoon, the St. Louis Cardinals announced that they have extended the contracts of manager Mike Shildt, along with President of baseball operations John Mozeliak, and general manager Michael Girsch. Shildt and Mozeliak both have three-year contract extensions. Girsch had his 2020 option picked up, and received a two-year contract extension. So counting the option it's three-years. Shildt, 51, just finished his fist full season as the Cardinals manager. In his first full season, Shildt's Cardinals won the NL Central going 91-71. They made the playoffs for the first time since 2015, and went to the NLCS for the first time since 2014. In defense the Cardinals went from worst to first, only making 66 errors. Shildt's entire coaching staff will return for 2020. Shildt is also one of three finalists in the running to win NL Manager of the Year.

Overall, Shildt has managed 2 seasons in the MLB. Shildt has a record of 132-99 with a .571 winning percentage. Shildt and his coaching staff will look to build off of the success they had in 2019.
