Brewers manager Pat Murphy has agreed to a new three-year contract with a club option for 2029, a source told MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand on Thursday. The team has not confirmed the news.
The back-to-back Manager of the Year, Murphy claimed last year’s honors in a landslide after leading the Brewers to a franchise-record 97 victories during the regular season, which was followed by an NLDS triumph over the rival Cubs for Milwaukee’s first postseason series victory since 2018.
Murphy led the Crew through a brutal spate of early-season injuries that decimated their starting rotation. The Brewers were still three games under .500 on May 25, had already banked at least two team meetings and had zero comeback victories after trailing by multiple runs when they finally took off. They put together an eight-game winning streak that spanned the end of May and beginning of June, followed by an 11-game winning streak in July and a franchise-record 14-game winning streak in August to vault to the top of the standings.
By finishing 97-65 for a third consecutive NL Central title, Murphy & Co. joined the 1982 club as the only Brewers teams to finish with the best record in baseball.
