The Milwaukee Brewers have locked in their skipper, Pat Murphy, for three more years, a move that's sure to resonate well with fans and players alike. Murphy, who took the reins from Craig Counsell in 2024, expressed his gratitude and excitement about the extension, highlighting the importance of stability in his role.
“Knowing where you're going to be is crucial,” Murphy shared. “I never doubted this would work out.
I'm incredibly grateful and thankful. Being part of the baseball world is something special.
Driving to work every day feels like a blessing, and having the organization say, ‘Yes, we want you here,’ is truly rewarding.”
Murphy stepped up as the Brewers' manager after Counsell moved to the Chicago Cubs. Despite now managing rival teams, there's a clear mutual respect between the two, with Counsell expressing his happiness for Murphy's new deal.
Murphy's tenure with the Brewers has been nothing short of impressive. Over the past two years, he’s established himself as one of the premier managers in the league, earning back-to-back National League Manager of the Year honors. His leadership has been pivotal in keeping the Brewers competitive.
Reflecting on his journey, Murphy said, “Getting here is tough, and it comes with responsibility. I didn't need this extension to feel valued, but it’s the best outcome. I wouldn’t want to be with any other organization.”
Looking ahead, Murphy is eager to guide Milwaukee towards even greater success. The Brewers have been a formidable force in recent seasons, and with Murphy at the helm, they have their sights set on a World Series appearance. The future looks bright for the Brewers under his leadership.
