Brewers, Pat Murphy Agree To Extension

The Brewers and manager Pat Murphy have agreed to a new deal, reports Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. It’s a three-year contract with a club option for 2029. Murphy was previously going into the final season of a three-year deal he signed ahead of the 2024 campaign.

It’s not at all surprising that the Brewers and Murphy have worked out a deal to keep their relationship going. Murphy took over two seasons ago after Craig Counsell surprisingly departed for the division-rival Cubs. The Brewers didn’t miss a beat, going 93-69 in 2024 and winning the National League Central division crown. Murphy won N.L. Manager of the Year honors in his first season at the helm.

It was more of the same last year. The Brewers increased their win total to 97, which was enough for them to repeat as division champs and was actually the best record in the majors. Murphy took home Manager of the Year honors yet again.

More to come.
